  • She would never acknowledge the fact that she wanted me aborted, so it’s not something I’ve heard justified. This is a family tree defined by sexual violence, so there are a lot of topics which exist in that liminal space.

    Republican women live in a world that is governed by fear and control. Abortion being an option removes that aspect of fear. There is something in it that works the same way a “kink” does, that if one follows the rules and takes the hurt, everything works out in the end. Why would you take out the hurt/is it actually a feasible option to take out the hurt?

    But to actually answer your question, asking her the question would just not get a response.




  • You are thinking about what happened with Marina Butina.

    The NRA was founded as a pretty reasonable organization - here’s a quote from their president, Karl Frederick, in 1934:

    I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I seldom carry one. I have when I felt it was desirable to do so for my own protection. I know that applies in most of the instances where guns are used effectively in self-defense or in places of business and in the home. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.

    It got taken over by Birchers and racists in the 1970’s, being rational and non partisan for most of its life before them.
