American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.
The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.
Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.
When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.
Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.
Yeah, and what do you call a high risk pregnancy that would normally have ended in abortion? Now women are forced to carry the pregnancy (viable or otherwise) to term putting their health and lives at risk.
Educate yourself on what’s going on before spouting nonsense.
But that’s LACK of Roe v Wade! Checkmate or something, lib!
There should be exceptions for when the mother’s health is at risk.
Sure you waved your fingers so it magically happened so. Fuck reality right?
Except there isn’t, therefore, the repeal of Roe v Wade is, literally, killing women.
There are in many states.
And yet, doctors are still concerned because shit is too vague, so they just… don’t do them for any reason.
That’s on the doctors and I think it’s political in nature rather than as you described. I’m skeptical that this actually happens frequently.
So you want to legislate but don’t want any responsibility for your legislation? Why would anybody give a shit about what you think?
That’s fine, but the facts don’t really care about your feelings.
I’m sorry but that’s in no way an objective source. On this particular social issue, that’s like citing Fox News. I’ll take some local news website or something that lists that sources or best of all the scientific study on the reluctance of doctors to perform abortions.
But I will not accept an NPR editorial on abortion as evidence.
Also that slogan is not as pithy as you think. Lol. Kind of makes you sound like a wine mom.
Oh wow, what’s this? Is the NPR article linking sources, and to a local news website no less? Wild. But if you won’t accept an NPR article, would you accept an interview on PBS?
Or a guardian article (linking a study by the New England Journal of Medicine)?
Or a CNN article citing a study published in the American Journal of Gynecology?
Or a Texas Tribune article?
Or a Fox News article?
Or a second Fox News article?
Does it matter what the source is? Do you even care?
Jesus Christ that was incredibly well cited. That’s a top tier comment if I’ve ever seen one, amazing work.
If you just search “doctor roe v wade abortion”, most of these articles are the results on the first page. Econgrad is being disingenuous about what sources they’re willing to accept, so I just googled it for them in way fewer words than it took to lie about why they wouldn’t take the NPR article.
Dude, that is NPR. Grow the fuck up. You’re worried about NPR but really no one in your life should trust you because you have very poor judgement.
Why won’t you accept an NPR article?
Follow-up: what is your understanding of the definition of the word “editorial”?
It’s almost like this was a healthcare decision. That should have been left between doctors and their patients. Not a bunch of balding fascists.
It is happening constantly. These laws don’t define what they mean when they say the mother’s life is at risk, so doctors wait until women are on death’s doorstep because otherwise they can be charged with a crime.
Pro-lifers don’t actually think about the consequences of their vague ass laws. Women ARE dying because of the repeal of RvW and it isn’t their fault, or the doctors’, it’s the climate of fear that was intentionally created by the extremists who support this bullshit.
