It's obviously a very unfair and only partially true assessment of the situation. I'm sure a lot of these folks mean well, but folks who think these issues really matter as if they could possibly make a difference by passing some silly personhood bill or placing another barrier in front of folks who need an abortion are being misled.
Even here in Oklahoma, the reddest of the red states, each and every one of these bills has quickly been shot down by the state supreme court.
It's good political rhetoric because folks around here are vehemently pro-life on probably about a 65/35 ratio, but these issues don't really matter because most of this stuff is pretty much settled law. So I guess it's just the mouthbreathing hillbillies who don't know the difference and/or don't care.
