    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.
