    they aren’t doing a good job convincing the average Joe that abortion is wrong.

    everybody knows abortion is a relatively mild medicine procedure that does not involve killing anybody so why still using these stupid ass term?

    Listen, I used to be like you. I used to be confident that most people were smarter than shit like the idea of “post birth abortion.” You know what shattered that faith? The election in 2016. While it might be true that the majority of people aren’t that dumb, it doesn’t matter; it only takes *just enough *knuckleheads that eat up the shit like DeSantis is spreading to fuck us all.

    There are enough people that will believe “post birth abortions” are happening - just like there were enough that believed (and STILL believe!) the election was stolen - simply because DeSantis said so, to be a considerable threat to our democracy.

    The saying “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers” is more apropos than ever these days.
