    Because he knows that saying “yes, absolutely” will only lose him votes.

    Nobody forget, he is the one that engineered the overturning of roe v wade, not Trump who only scribbled on shit with a sharpie.

      I don’t actually think he cares at all, at least not personally. I think he sees it as an effective way to divide the American public and win political points depending on what he does and when, but I would be shocked if he had genuine moral opposition. Because that would require him to have genuine moral stances, and I think his only strong feelings in his entire life have been about getting and holding on to power.

        He worked for decades to overturn roe v wade.

        Do you really think that’s the actions of a guy that doesn’t care?

          I really don’t, at least not because of any strong moral convictions. I believe he cared a lot about abortion as a means to an end, though.

          He worked for decades on that to cement an unholy alliance between plutocrats and the religious conservatives.

      Does it matter? He announced that he isn’t running for reelection, didn’t he?
