    If there’s any doubt we’re heading for a massive flashpoint that might lead to civil war, there are people in this country who not only think that removing rights from millions of people isn’t a big deal but they’ll get on Reddit and complain about hearing other people be mad about it.

      That’s one of the things that makes abortion such a powerful wedge issue. They are attacking rights when banning abortion. But abortion isn’t a right. Unlimited access to elective surgery without regard to medical ethics isn’t a right. Not only that, but pro-abortion arguments by the libs typically enhance further subjugation of women by reinforcing the idea that having a child limits a woman’s choices fundamentally and necessarily and that notion is itself an affront to women’s autonomy. So you see, both sides of the political abortion issue are inherently about subjugation of women. They just differ on how to go about it.
