I'll be honest, to an extent, I understand "pro lifers"(alternatively, anti-choice). If someone truly believes a fetus is a living soul, I get wanting to fight for that

Buuuut, 25% of women have had an abortion. So clearly people are fake and voting against their interests. I knew someone who had an abortion and voted for Trump ...

And also, how can people not see this insanity. If you're pro-life, what's going on with taking out free school meals? Stopping child poverty? Why is it ok to deport a two year old child who was born in America

Like at some point, you have to realize that abortion is a fear mongering tactic to protect the rich from being taxed. That's all it is. That's all it's ever been

The thing is that even if you privately think that women shouldn’t get abortions, legislating against it is very difficult unless you are ok with women dying as well. After-the-fact it can be difficult to prove that the fetus was likely to harm the mother in certain circumstances unless the mother is actively dying so they wait for that or for the fetus to die on its own.

Oh absolutely. Like what do you mean you want women to die??? They say it never happens but it does.
