11. This is precisely the kind of political manipulation that they are so good at.

They need to be called on it each and every time they trot it out. Have medical and legal definitinos of abortion on hand to prevent them from redefining abortion to change the narrative.

They did it with same gender marriage (if the state accepts same gender marriage, churches will be forced to marry couples against their beliefs)

They are doing it now with trans athletes (this is really a feminist issue - our precious little girls will lose out to "men" who are allowed to declare themselves women)

They are now doing it with abortion when the consequences of Dobbs became politically untenable.

(A nearly identical exchange occurred yesterday about an ectopic pregnancy, as well.)
