Why are Americans so obsessed with abortion?

[Anonymous]

Aren't issues like affordable healthcare and sustainable energy more important than that?

[Soteris]

USA is not obsessed with Abortions. USA is obsessed with culture wars, or rather, the incredibly extremist religious and/or establishment core in USA is utterly terrified and desperately trying to hold onto power and relevance as they slip more and more every year.

This abject panic is manifested in several ways, one of which is rejection of modern progression and attempts to re-establish historic cultural norms to a state back when they wielded power.

As such this is not really about oppressing women, or racial groups, or dismantling rights etc.. All these things are simply the current battlefield they have decided to fight on in their attempts to stay relevant. Once they either win or completely lose they will simply drop the subject and move onto the next topic they found that can rile up their supporters. Like how they dropped interracial marriage or voting rights for women after fighting it tooth and nail.

Whatever they might say about it, they dont actually care. They might hold strong feelings on the subject today but that is just because they worked themselves up over the conflict and not because they hold any inherent opinion on the matter. Basically someone told them they should be upset and like a well trained dog reacting to their owner ringing a bell they respond without even having an idea about what is going on.

Because the average American is too ignorant lazy and indoctrinated to inform them selves about or care about things that really matter. When the elites decide on the next distraction, the average American says “ooh shiny” and chases it like a dog after a stick. I blame public screwel indoctrination, the pedophiles in entertainment, and the CIA assets in media like Wolf Blitzer and in a previous era Betty Freidan.

Thanks for MHO

I guess you ain't American so I'll try to make it simple: we gave them an inch and they took a mile. We allowed abortion thinking that it'd be rare and early in the pregnancy but it eventually got to where people used it as birth control and they aborted way later than normal people find responsible. I personally think we could have said 6 weeks latest and one per woman and you pay for it yourself but now we just abandon it. The idiots who are going crazy online are the lunatics who are unemployed and they get pregnant and now... well... we don't give them free abortion...

The world revolves around pussy and what we do with it. As much as they don’t want to over inflate our egos about it, it’s pretty much confirmed now.

[OlderAndWiser]

The MSM has done all that it can to turn politics into war and everything is infused with hatred. The abortion issue is merely the current venue which allows those who are highly indignant to vent their spleen to applause.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I mean, the heavy politicization of SCOTUS would make affordable healthcare and climate change hard to address, too.

Abortion IS healthcare. How can the US focus on "affordable healthcare" if some of the most powerful lawmakers don't think healthcare SHOULD be affordable, or even accessible?

Plus, Republicans are statisticslly proven to NOT believe in climate change. Or just science in general.

So a Republican SCOTUS (what they have now and will have until they either force a restructure or they all die - no term limits, remember?) isn't only going to NOT care about affordable healthcare or climate change.

They're straight up not even going to believe they're actual concerns.

[NamerOfStars]

Oh, they're MUCH more important- and more topical, too. The current abortion obsession is mostly a media-fed diversionary tactic (in 1983, 90% of American media was owned by fifty companies; today, that same 90% is owned by FIVE) to distract the voter base from lousy Democratic performance, so as to influence the coming elections.

[WindAtMyBack]

Well, it's currently in the news - something that for decades people thought would never happen. So people are pretty shocked and everyone is talking about it.

Normally though, the vast majority of people never think about it. As soon as all the frenzy dies down it will be like that again. The media and some people will try to milk it as long as they can, like they do with every other issue. But eventually it will die down.

[Agape93]

Abortion is part of Healthcare, and abortions can be hundreds of dollars. So that is literally also about affordable Healthcare.

[Asker]

But they made it illegal

[Agape93]

In some states, yeah. Most it's still have it legal, and most people support it

[LazerBean]

You're asking if free doctor visits are a more important topic than baby killing? That's gonna be a no.

[Asker]

What do you mean baby killing? These are collections of cells.

[Bratsondanielle]

And you guys love to say that while randomly getting pregnant by different guys, some of whom you know the first name, and then just go get a free abortion. Well, now it's a pill a day sweetheart. Even if it's gonna give you a headaches trying to remedy such a difficult new task. And by the way: we need a serious scientific investigation into the fact that "the more ugly she is -- the more upset about this she is"!!! Some of the baby murderers (x-babymurderers) on YouTube tictoc etc literally look like a dump truck just spilled them out!!

[jshm2]

Because it means more kids born, and thus more school shootings to keep the numbers down?

It's why a lot of people don't come to America, they have to do a school shooting just to fit in.

I know right? I mean, abortion is a serious issue that should be discussed openly but there are other serious problems to solve.

[Sonorous]

Probably because this immediately effects people more. And everyone can relate to it.

[Surely]

The most important issue to the Democrats is to make sure that Trump never gets back into office and maybe actually “Drain the Swamp!”
this time!
Who cares about America anymore? Or the tax payers!

[Anonymous]

Nah cause hoes (of both genders) gotta hoe and as long as they can murder their own kids so they can continue to hoe around they’re fine. Apparently.

[888theGreat]

Obama made health care unaffordable , it was ok before he destroyed it. We have many issues. I hear Gay marriage will be next things to be struck down. I can hardly wait.

[exitseven]

Democrats are making this their centerpiece issue because they have screwed up everything else.

[KlinkyCoder]

Do you believe those who are to the right of being anti-abortion are all fascists?

[Asker]

I think they're uninformed and haven't really thought it through.

[TexasRed95]

Because it's something less important than what you mentioned. The media is astoundingly skilled at making us not care about real issues.

[Anonymous]

Because woman are just incubators and nothing else can be accomplished until they realize that.

[Anonymous]

Because a large portion of the Republican Party are anti-democracy, Theocratic fascists who are hell-bent on sending us back to the Dark Ages.

[Asker]

I'm pretty sure Joe Biden agrees with the decision deep down which is why he isn't doing anything about it. He's one of those loopy catholic types.

[Opinion Owner]

What exactly is he supposed to do about it? What would you recommend?

[Anonymous]

Affordable Healthcare and Sustainable Energy are more important to most people. It's just hoes are mad they can't do whatever they want and we all know Western Society tends to enable bitches.

[Anonymous]

Why are Europeans so obsessed with America?

🤷‍♂️

[jimmy2]

After 50 years of murdering babies finally many States can be blessed by God now
