    We need to be better about keeping up with the goalposts. It’s not about religion anymore, it’s about murder now.

    The argument used to be religious and defining when life begins, but that was a weak argument and “easily” solved by scientific inquiry, so now the argument is black and white: “you either murder a baby, or give birth.” There is no middle ground anymore, there is no argument to be had, it’s simply “you’re murdering babies.”

    They can take this meme and say “well maybe I don’t want the migrant here draining our resources, but I’m not murdering them! We deport them to someone who will help! You Democrats are the evil ones! You love to murder babies!”

    It’s insanely frustrating, and the whole issue is only being pushed by propagandists to bolster Republican voter numbers, but we should contend with the actual argument and not an old one that they don’t use as often.
