I’m pretty sure women of the time didn’t wish they could abort at will and secretly hated Ben Franklin for oppressing them. I guess what I’m saying is, women of the time didn’t have purple hair.

The whole interpretation of it now is to protect the white, Christian male agenda. Anything outside of that group does not matter. It was true then and it’s true now.

Why are liberals thought to hate America? It's a real mystery.

Thanks for making my point? We’ve evolved as a country to where women and minorities are supposed to have equal rights. Why base things on a constitution that was just for the rights of white men?

Because the right is excellent and propaganda. It's not that difficult.

Dude, take a breath. That is not in any way a reflection of reality then or now.

Lots of religions prohibit abortion. Why do people always single out Christians?

I’m guessing here in the US because it is the majority religion.

How would the US Constitution differ exactly? Just some things like ad hoc prohibition on regulations on abortion? Or an entirely rethought ideology? How would these things be added beyond equal voting rights for women? Granting them special powers?

Maybe my observations have been wrong or misled , but the majority of people i see against abortion in the US are conservative Christians. Would be interesting to see what is the faith, if any, the +/- 35% of people who are against abortion rights.

Banning abortion certainly doesn't strengthen white power given the abortion rate differences between races. But maybe this is an instance of religious interests overwhelming racial interests?

They may be. I don’t know. But I’m talking about the majority in the US. I’m trying to ask questions here, admitting that it may be naive. Why are you trying to “gotcha” me here? Must you always be a giant douche?

Cute quote and all, but could you be more specific?
