There are few areas in which we fail to pass Ideological Turing Tests as severely as the abortion debate.
This is a bit of a non sequitur, but more importantly, the "Don't like abortions, don't have one" talking point falls flat.
As Louis C.K. notes, one side sees abortion as murder, while the other side sees it as akin to going to the bathroom.
There's something deeply scary about the gaslighting that's going on with abortion.
We all have a different line we draw, and most of us have a sense of visceral, unshakable discomfort with abortion after a certain point.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the intentional distortion of what pro-lifers believe, other than the blatant intellectual dishonesty, is that it means we can't actually talk about the most interesting cracks and crevices in the abortion debate-areas of technological advancement that might mean we can sidestep the bloodletting altogether.
Mail-order abortion pills might render abortion bans pointless, and make it impossible for abortion to ever be truly obsolete.
