Abortion rights activists were unhappy with the president’s comments, as millions of people are being denied access to abortion care in nearly half the country.

It’s not a huge deal but why preface it though? All you have to say is “Roe vs Wade was the correct decision and a woman has the right to choose”
I’m “big on abortion” because it’s a human right and I like human rights. And it doesn’t really matter if a cis man is “big on abortion” because these laws will never affect him and his body. He’s just trying to appeal to Christians because Christians control so much of this country 🤮
I’m pro-choice but I’ve heard this and many similar things said and it’s such a ridiculous thing to say.
“It doesn’t really matter what you think about inhumane treatment for XYZ medical condition because you’re not a doctor and you don’t have that condition”
“It doesn’t matter what you think about banning this important subset of knowledge in K-12 education because you’ve already aged out”
Believe it or not, things can affect you even if they’re not directly happening to you. People don’t exist in a vacuum.
Disregarding someone’s opinion has never once changed someone’s opinion.
You can’t get elected by being honest, really. The optimal president is one who appeals to the most common middle ground with as many people as possible (single issue voters notwithstanding). He’s hoping to acknowledge moderate Christians who, having perfectly valid opinions on abortion, disagreed with overturning major Supreme Court decisions on culture war activists. Moderates are the only people who you can move on the ballot, sadly.
