This is also in context of the Republican effort out control education. Banning topics they don't like, rewriting history, homeschooling, and diverting public school funds to indoctrinating "Christian" private schools.
She was tied at the hip to the Bush Administration, and when the whole country turned against Bush, she wasn't savvy enough to make the pivot like Tucker or Hannity (might be some sexism tied up in that, too). The Republican party now hates everything Bush did, and pretends they weren't all the same people supporting him at the time. Coulter's the one who got stuck with all the baggage, and Fox News wouldn't have her on anymore.
Don't shed a tear for her. She's not worth the salt.
Coulter is also somewhat more pro-gay rights than your average Republican. She's against gay marriage, but is more friendly with the Log Cabin Republicans than your average right wing commentator.
Hmm, Musk-X doesn’t even work. I can see that post, but her feed only shows out of order posts with the top one being from 2020. “Replies” gives an error. Musk sure is (literally) killing it.
I agree that rights should be universal, and it's something for which we should strive, but I disagree that it's not a right unless it is universal. There's plenty of awful examples throughout history of people who had certain rights while others did not.
Or maybe people who are against abortion could simply choose not to have one. Ya know the way it was for like 50 years before Roe was overturned.
Of course we know they just want to impose their values on other people. So people having the freedom to be able to make choices for themselves goes against their way of thinking.
Not even just 50 years, remedies to cause an abortion or suppress menstrual cycles have been in use for hundreds of years. Just now reading about the history apparently Ben Franklin may have manufactured a public discourse on abortion because he knew it would help sell papers.
Political affiliation is not genetic. Plenty of WASPs are on the left. I mean John Fetterman is a WASP. And there are plenty of examples of people who go the opposite way politically from their parents.
Wouldn't work.Their end goal is to disenfranchise women entirely. They start by making choices about our bodies for us, they end up making every choice for us.
They want control, power, not acceptance of their views for their own circle.
The base is so dumb, they would probably see it as discrimination and fight tooth and nail to make abortions legal for all and only realize they've been "rabbit seasoned" after they won.
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.
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
