How did abortion become such a polarizing issue? There are 14 abortions for every 1,000 pregnancies. How is this the number one issue?

When you no longer have popular policy, or really any policy, all that is left is appeals to emotion.

Outrage on what topic? But overall, no.

I don't see stupid outrage memes posted here from the left. I see them from the right. I see what my aunt's post on Facebook. I see Tucker Carlson, the single most outraged man in the nation, as well as what Laura Ingrahm froths at the mouth over. I see the people at Qanon and stop the steal rallies. I see people furious over trans people they'll never meet. I see school board meetings overun with fear mongering about litter boxes and YA novels

And I saw what happened at the Capitol on 1/6. I see people posting, even here, gleefully about an upcoming civil war.

It's the access to a life defining medical procedure, that half of the population (men) do not have to deal with. For any female this is an all or nothing issue. I'm willing to go out on a limb and assume you're a man, OP.

Getting struck by lightening is rare too but I think we can all agree you’d want to be given medical treatment if you were. That’s the point D1 is making.

I heard Jesse Watters on Fox yesterday talking about like “who knew abortion could be such an issue for people” literally after years of them making it an issue for the right. So now they’re surprised the majority are actually pro choice? Like wow, just wow what an out of touch comment, for someone as slimey as Jesse Watters to be telling half his viewers that access to a medical procedure, human rights, equality under the law, and bodily autonomy are shocking issues that they’d making voting decisions based on. I wanted to scream at the idiocy.

It’s interesting bc abortion wasn’t that much of a platform after Roe was decided. The GOP made it a hard line issue a few years later when trying to appeal to Catholic voters

It's the only thing the "religious" right can point to that makes it seem like they actually care about the well-being of (potential) human beings in any meaningful way... and they get to slut shame and control women at the same time.

Evangelical and Christofascist nutjobs, that’s why. Keep religion out of politics.

Actually, in the United States there are 200 abortions for every thousand pregnancies.

From the CDC link: even fewer (<1.0%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation.

But talk to any pro-lifer and you'll get a different tune
