How The GOP Ended Up Hating Abortion | AJ+

- Опубліковано 3 сер 2019
- Republicans and their base used to be more supportive of abortion rights than Democrats. Now, they’re pushing for abortion restrictions in states like Texas, Alabama and Missouri, with an aim to overturn Roe v. Wade. Why did the GOP turn its back on abortion rights ... and what does Ronald Reagan, Obama and gerrymandering have to do with it all? #Abortion #Texas #RoeVWade

Were you surprised to learn how the GOP changed its stance on abortion over the years?
AJ+ why would you even car about abortion when it’s illegal in your country and this channel is mainly funded by Quatar?? Idiotic you would think?🤔
No, because after Roe v. Wade, abortion surged as an issue, and the country became more divided over it. So the parties had to take clear sides around it. And since Dems were already the party of "women's rights", it became the one that was pro-choice and the GOP the pro-life one.
God's Son E.B. - Abortion is not illegal in the U.S.! Roe v Wade made it so in 1973!
I am researching the creeping theocracy movement for several years as I have fought a degenerative disease topped off by cancer (because of COURSE! Ha!) but when I first started working on the history of the opposition movement I found out it was invented and orchestrated by the then-newly formed Moral Majority. Fascinating!
I'm a GOP that is pro-choice and I always thought GOP's should be pro-choice since we're usually about more individual rights and less governmental control. I'm surprised the GOP switched.
@1:04 you know who WAS openly pro choice even before Roe vs Wade became law? Bernie Sanders.
you think they will say that?
never
Roe v Wade was upheld in 1973. Bernie's political career started 1991 you LW loon!!

Democrats do it all the time
@@selfishcapitalist3523 my statement still stands , neither party should have it
It kinda makes sense that Republicans would initially be more pro-choice--they're traditionally the party of "small government" and personal freedoms.
Then the democrats should be pro-life - they are the party of TOLERANCE aren't they? COEXIST with your fellow human being - no matter the color of their skin, religion, sexual orientation, size, location or level of development, right? i.e. DON'T KILL an innocent human being.
@geezusispan Everyone from both parties should support protecting innocent human beings from being killed. The government passing laws to protect animals from abuse isn't "big government" is it? It's not "big government" for the law to tell someone to ensure the safety of their child - born or unborn.
@@mathildeyoung1823 Our protection needs to extend to living, breathing, thinking, feeling beings. Consciousness is what makes us human, and gives us the moral responsibility to protect all creatures born into this world, as far as we can. Many women feel sad to give up the potential for life when they have an abortion. But potential life is not the same as that of an actual, born, living person, who has feelings and memories. I know you won't agree with me, so not quite sure why I'm writing this at all. Just felt the need to put that out there, I guess.
@geezusispan Is it "forcing" for the law to tell a woman to bring an unwanted baby to a fire station or hospital instead of dumping him the trash can? What will that benefit society? You may call that "forcing", I call it PROTECTING vulnerable human beings from their selfish parents.
@geezusispan By your "logic" big government tells people to wear seatbelts and get vaccinated or they cannot go to school...
An unborn child is a human being. Human beings should not be discriminate against and killed based on their skin color, religion or level of development.
There are long waiting lists of people wanting to adopt newborn babies.
"We don't need more unwanted babies!" -do you support infanticide now?
1976 was the last election with a pro life democrat against a pro choice republican. People love jimmy carter today but he was against abortion rights and had an evangelical base in the south similar to trump today.
"Abortion rights" is an oxymoron

Pro life/anti abortion is the best thing about GOP, because come what may, they can always rely on anti abortion Catholics and Protestants to show up at the polls, even under a terrible economy or corruption scandal.

Nobody is "FOR" abortion...But the majority of Americans are for the right to choose what happens with their own bodies.
Sure, get all the tattoos you want. Abortion is about doing something to the body of ANOTHER human being - i.e. killing him/her to make your life easier. That should be illegal
Yeah except it's a human inside of you, not you.
It might be their own bodies but what about that babys body these evil child killers will burn in hell it makes me sick there is no excuse for these people plenty of contraception out there if anyone killed a little child everyone would think it was horrific but it doen't matter if they rip a living baby out of the selfish womans womb.

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners, immigrants, the sick, the poor, widows, orphans. All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible, they all get thrown under the bus for the unborn
A lot of words just to say you want to kill babies 🤷
Believe It or Not conservatives volunteer in their local communities and donate far more to charity than liberals.
They do help people of all kinds including the poor the sick the elderly and more.
Just because they prefer to do it through private charity and churches doesn't mean they're not helping people, you want to delegitimize them as demons when really they're people just like you.
The unborn are a convenient group to throw under the bus, because they can never speak back against you.
They are a perfect candidate for you to slaughter and persecute because in the end they are the most vulnerable and you can sell their extermination as virtue through twisted logic.

An adult doesn't have the same rights as an embryo. It seems like people cares more about the embryo than an existing person.
Just because you’re alive, or an adult, or a woman doesn’t mean you get to murder your baby... just because it hasn’t been born yet.
And an adult does have the same right as an embryo... neither should be murdered. It’s called murder.
And it’s not just embryos, it’s fetuses that could survive outside of the womb that are aborted as well.
@@erindewan6758 It's only unethical if the organism is sentient. A fetus isn't sentient. By the way, a fetus is not a baby.
Cherry Pie are you mad? A fetus is a baby, just because it hasn’t breathed yet, doesn’t mean it’s not a human being. And fetuses are sentient from a certain point... they dream and move and kick and suck their thumbs and when the doctor inserts forceps to tear it limb from limb it moves away from the forceps. A baby can be born premature and survive at 5 or 6 months. Do you think a month or two earlier and it’s just a lump???
It’s a baby.
Stop advocating for baby-killing you psycho.
@@erindewan6758 A fetus can develop into a baby, but isn't one already. One thing a baby has and not a fetus is sentientence. What makes a human life more important than life of a bacteria is us having concept of emotions, memories, compassion, character and understanding of mortality (all of which a fetus does not having at that stage). When you think of who you are, do you describe your anatomy?
We're in this situation because nobody voted in the 2010 midterms. I'm glad that was pointed out. American voters definitely screwed themselves in 2010.
"Master" legislator platitudes Pelosi along with abysmal Obama's neoliberal incrementalism led to over a thousand seats lost. You're punching down when voters are blamed. Horrible policies like making the war criminal Bush's tax cuts permanent and bailing out wallstreet banksters rather than prosecuting them along with war criminals wbush cheney haspel bolton led to disinterest in this other corrupt party the "democrats"
@BLAIR M Schirmer I blame Pelosi more than I blamed Obama. Obama does deserve some blame, but not all of it. In all honesty Obama had "handlers". People already had an irrational fear of him being a black president (why you think biden was picked to be his vice president?). I don't even think the democratic establishment even expected Obama to win. My theory is that they reached some type of compromise behind the scenes a year into his time in office. Remember the joke that people said it appears like someone is holding Obama's kids hostage somewhere? So solely blaming Obama is unfair too.

Well more than thirty-five years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the particular provision in the Canadian Criminal Code - under which abortion had been governed - was unconstitutional, as it violated a woman's fundamental right to 'security of person' per Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Thus, Section 251(4) of the Canadian Criminal Code was not justifiable per Section 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For the record, the landmark reproductive rights court opinion as rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada is cited as 'R. v. Morgentaler [1988] 1 SCR 30, 82 NR 1, 44 DLR (4th) 385, 26 OAC 1, 63 OR (2nd) 281, 37 CCC (3rd) 449, 62 CR (3rd) 1, 37 CCC (3rd) 449, 31 CRR 1, 3 WCB (2nd) 332, JE 88-220, [1988] SCJ No. 1 (QL), [1988] ACS No. 1.' Fortunately, the re-criminalization of abortion in Canada through legislative and/or judicial means will never see the light of day. Evidently, abortion has long remained a 'proverbial' third-rail of Canadian politics.
this isn't Canada
@@workct4102 Fortunately, there is no vibrant Canadian equivalent of the far-right Federalist Society.
@@albertcalleros9489 then you should move there if you wont be a part of the solution. Canada sucks.
Anti abortionists are in for a rude awakening. The legal theories that made Roe vs. Wade possible related to privacy rights. There are NO privacy rights directly enshrined in the Constitution. It is widely acknowledged as something the writers of the Constitutions overlooked, because the whole idea of "privacy" was not really a tangible concept 200+ years ago. So the Courts have come up with various legal machination and logic to create a right to privacy. THAT is what underpinned Roe vs. Wade. Unfortunately, THAT is what they have now taken down. This means that many other rights supported by judicially enshrined privacy rights may also now be struck down. These include things like birth control, LOL. Brilliant.
Who gives a fk. You can try to justify murdering innocent life all you want but as for the rest of us? NO THANKS.
lmao cope and seethe
Another awesome and informative video I need to show everyone!
I'm pro-choice (supposing wanting abortion legal only in the first couple of trimesters is still "pro-choice), but I'm also a Republican. That's because abortion doesn't even make the top 5 of the issues I vote on.
I vote primarily on:
1) Business and labor regulations.
2) Taxes.
3) Gun rights.
4) Law and order.
5) Regulations/restrictions on land use and housing development that drive up the prices of homes.
@@damoab1909 Yeah, I'm more-or-less on board. Though I probably don't feel as strongly about it as you do.
Besides the freedom of the mother, my main rationale behind the pro-choice stance is that fetuses are not conscious or sentient until very late in the pregnancy, and so don't feel anything. There's no suffering involved on their part. Hence, there's no good reason to impede the choice of the mother at least during the first two trimsters.
Anyone with a Libertarian mindset should understand that the underlying issue is PRIVACY. It was notions of privacy that underpinned Roe vs. Wade. There are a wide array of other rights that also rely on notions of privacy. So now, that means that this whole array of other privacy based rights may now fall. These include Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which means Contraception could lose protected status, and be made illegal state by state.
I personally feel very uneasy about abortion. Doesn’t sit right. But I think we can all agree that more contraception education IS the answer. Don’t get pregnant in the first place.
@1234coolman Haha, people would say the same about the 'right'. Moot point.
@1234coolman It's the GOP that is also denying access to sex ed and birth control. Then they wonder why people get pregnant without wanting to.
It is the answer... but people are too stupid to use it .. so those stupid people have stupid children who end up on the streets and in the jails, and on govt . handouts! think about it.
You realise republican states have also started banning contraceptives?
8:04 "May the fetus you save be GAY!" LOL.
Yeah, because there not enough people on the planet already
you know Roe never had an abortion, right? you know she had 3 babies by three different men and she became pro life later in life.
then she admitted in her death bed, that she was paid to be on their side?
@@hotxhotguy so she was a demented person that the left idolizes. Gotcha
@@workct4102 no one idolizes her. But she did bring up a good point. Women were dying due to unsafe abortion practices. Our bodies are treated like baby incubators and nothing else. It is disgusting that I will lose rights over my body to host a baby. And birth control is not 100% effective.

Almost 100% of abortions happen before 20 weeks. There are fewer than 100 late-term abortions each year, and almost all of them are done because the baby would not live after birth. Why are you so focused on this incredibly rare circumstance?
@@OsirisMalkovich that's a ridiculously unrealistic figure. At least 8 states allow late term abortion and with millions of people in each state there's no way there's only fewer than 100 late term abortions each year. Link your source.
