Exclusive analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.
I think knowing that these voters base their position on abortion on the belief that it is murder hurts your position so it’s better not to answer. Or you just don’t know them that well and really have no idea.
I mean, i’ve no idea because it’s never happened, you also have no idea.
You can assure me it’s true all you want, your assurances mean nothing to me if they don’t make any sense.
The argument that these voters’ position on abortion (and therefore their votes) are based on race necessarily requires that they are aware of the statistics.
It does not, at all.
A decision can easily be based on a belief, an understanding of relevant statistical values isn’t required.
If the claim is they vote this way because it disproportionately harms minorities, how do they know it disproportionately harms minorities?
That’s not the claim, the claim is “Some people vote this way , wholly or partially because they think it disproportionately harms minorities”
They probably don’t know , they may think it does, or hope it does, or not care at all either way.
There are of course people who are voting solely on their opinion of “baby murder is bad”, nobody is or has been arguing otherwise.
You are arguing race isn’t a factor, i am arguing that that’s an impossible position to defend and no “All the people i know aren’t racist” doesn’t count as a valid defense.

Common ground is a good basis for understanding.
