CBS host Margaret Brennan appeared surprised by the results of a CBS poll showing a majority of registered voters supported deporting all illegal immigrants.
I’m not in an echo chamber, but I’m a right winger who listens to a lot of right wing media and presumed that anti-illegal immigration is a predominantly right wing view. I had no idea that had shifted at all, I should listen to more left wing media though.
That is one area I diverge with the party. Abortion should be legal. Based on the voting, most republicans agree it should be legal. Based on polls, they don’t.
I’m actually surprised that it’s that high too
Use this as a chance to leave your echo chamber. Illegal immigration is deeply unpopular, just like banning abortion, or firearm regulation.

@wintermute_oregon @ryathal Banning abortion beyond the first trimester is popular IIRC
I view body autonomy as a right. Nothing is more sacred than choosing what’s best for you
@wintermute_oregon So you’re an anarchist?
Not at all but one of the most basic rights to control of your own body.
@wintermute_oregon My problem is when you use your own body to harm another body, like a 6 year old child, or a fetus
Six year old children are never aborted. A fetus is just a lump of cells. Either people have body autonomy or they don’t.
And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
