    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 ā€œpost birth abortion.ā€ 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 ā€œpost birth abortionsā€ 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 ā€œnever underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbersā€ is more apropos than ever these days.
