OMG.. is Ann Coulter accidentally being sorta based ???
She wants it for eugenics reasons.
i mean that assumes that Republicans are an ethnicity. any Democrat concerned about "race suicide" can just become a Republican. (of course this is actually dumb)
i read that article, and the only concern in legalized abortion was the possibility of forced sterilization programs, and this is an incredibly unlikely event for the U.S. in this current time, as it would assume that certain ethnicities are not free to choose their party.
even if that was eventually the plan, that kind of insanity would call for a pretty obviously needed revolution, even among many Republicans who have non-ethnic principles.
what she said isn't actually a good idea of course.. but the point of the meme is that she is more or less saying the exact same thing as "people who choose to want abortions should be allowed to get abortions!" since being a Democrat or Republican is a choice. this is literally pro-choice in a cloak. lol
i'm Canadian though so i have no fkin idea who Ann Coulter is (i thought this suggestion was a joke actually), but if she's Republican, then this goes against the common Republican pro-life narrative, because she's offering abortion as a choice to anyone at all, then this is effectively the pro-choice position.
Not Republicans, white people.
Based on what
If by based you mean smashing 45% of the country into single issue voters and then using that to strip bodily autonomy based on party association... sure?
I mean if you wanted access to abortion you wouldn't vote republican, right? They're openly anti-women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, etc. so if you fall into any of those categories, voting republican is an odd form of self-destruction.
Don't threaten me with a good time. If that's what they, or you desire is to enforce unwanted theocracy upon the meager 55% of us (citations needed, social programs are overwhelming popular amongst voters, sorry bud) than I don't give a flying fuck about your bad faith opinions
Sometimes people deserve to get exactly what they want.
