If you want to oppose abortion, make an effort to learn what an abortion actually is
If you want to oppose raising taxes, make an effort to understand what taxes are and what the effects of raising and lowering taxes are
If you want to oppose gun control, make an effort to understand what gun control is. Etc. ad nauseum.
The fact that there are Ivy League graduates even suggesting any of these solutions implies that there's more to the issue than some elaborate scheme to kill babies/global domination/illuminati/socialistcommunistmuslimatheistkenyan gun grab.
This is the realm of reality. It doesn't matter how many of your typical honey boo boo watching, Kardashian idolizing, Bieber listening, coors light drinking, NASCAR racing, flag waiving, simple fucks think abortion is just killing babies. Abortion is never going to be black and white like that. Neither is any other political issue, and I vehemently oppose the systematic dumbing down of America and its education system in order to hide the real issues. It's not worth having an opinion if its based in ignorance.
