It's not that they're liberal except for abortion — they're conservative on many issues, including fiscal policy and guns. But many told me abortion was their make-or-break issue, the reason they would vote R despite, e.g., climate and disliking Trump.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/politics/young-republicans-trump.html …

"I’m of the firm belief that you can’t be pro-life & vote Democrat...I will vote Republican bc I will not vote Democrat, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it" "If it weren’t for that one issue...I’d have no problem voting for a Democrat over Trump"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/politics/young-republicans-trump.html …

One pair of stats I found fascinating, from the Harvard Youth Poll: 82% of Republicans ages 18-29 said they would vote for Trump over Biden, but only 30% of Republicans were closely aligned with Trump based on an ideology and values questionnaire.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/politics/young-republicans-trump.html …

That’s the only thing the GOP has left to offer. Too bad their constituencies terminate pregnancies as often as their Dem counterparts. More grotesque hypocrisy from the right.

Yes, and it's even worse! Conservative elites changed the Bible on abortion in the 1970s to sucker evangelicals into voting for billionaires' tax cuts. Christians used to think life started at first breath. Same reason Jews are not strongly anti-abortion. https://rewire.news/religion-dispatches/2019/09/27/when-the-biblical-view-for-evangelicals-was-that-life-begins-at-birth/ …pic.twitter.com/iawWINTo0h

Pro-life for babies, death to the old and infirm. Okay!

No. Life is only for the unborn. Once they become actual babies the GOP takes their food and healthcare.

Wonder if these “pro-lifers” have any problem with the Trump/GOP plan to sacrifice Granny on the altar of late stage capitalism, or if the fetus still reigns supreme.

Exactly.
