Republicans don't think those are birthrights either, because they don't care about anyone after they've been born. They wouldn't care about foetuses either if they had to be fed and housed.
They don't care about anyone before they were born. Abortion is just a hot topic for them to parade around to get votes, and nowadays, that strategy is backfiring so much that they try to ignore it as much as possible.
Sure, but then republicans are well into the territory of “I don’t like the facts”. They need to be told to work on trying to un-sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (from 1948?) before they can make what they consider “progress” in their minds.

LOL.. I read that as: “help! We’re slipping past the 1940s because of the commies and socialists!”
