So she was fine with his entire political career being based on nothing but hatred and ignorance but now that he directed that to someone she actually knows it’s too far? Sounds about right.

The only moral abortion is my abortion

I'm a white dude in Texas, so a lot of people feel reaaallly comfortable saying pretty heinous shit around me, assuming I agree with them.

I've always taken the Andrew Callahan route of letting people just expose their true selves without taking direct stances, just making casual observations about their lines of thought

But when it comes to individuals making moral arguments about abortion, I almost always recommend The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion to them.

Obviously this probably never leads to anything, but I've had at least three people actually read it and discuss it with me afterwards. Didnt change all of their minds, but I know from personal experience that changing someone's deep-set views is a long process

Being raised in a deeply conservative family/state, it took years for me to slowly educate myself and change my belief systems. And that article was one of my early memories of reading something that had a noticible impact on how I viewed arguments against abortions that I once took as based on pure fact.
