There was some Republicans woman who came to the university campus I was at to “debate” abortion.
She had a lot of straight up lies about the biology aspect.
But she also had previously had an abortion herself.
And she had like 7 kids.
She also didn’t think women should be allowed to vote.
But here she was. Using her feminist freedoms to travel around, instead of being home with her kids and husband, to speak lies and harm girls. To take away their right to choose even tho she herself had an abortion.
I’m not sure it explains it, but it dives into the phenomenon.
My best guess is that it’s similar to how people feel they are good drivers and can use their phones while driving but no one else should. Or driving drunk. “Just this once is okay. I’ll be careful.”
The critical thing to understand is that this isn’t a change of heart. There’s no real regret here. It’s “it was okay for me but not for you.”
Maybe sometimes ne can explain the psychology of this… It is boggling my mind.

Rights for me but not for thee.
I’ve been hearing a disturbingly large amount of disdain for the 19th Amendment, I’m legit worried the Right is going to try to repeal it.
