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.
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.
@wintermute_oregon We’re all a lump of cells. Doesn’t mean that you or I should be killed.
And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
@Blamemeta Yes. A person is a living human being. Fetuses count.
