You know how Austrailia is where the British dumped all of their prisoners? America is where all of Europe’s crazy religious and political groups ran to escape persecution and/or sane laws. 300 years later and those groups have splintered and evolved. Some became ultra-humanitarian secularists, others are practically Christian Taliban. All of these factions are loosely held in check by the US government, control of which they fight over constantly, hence the absolute circus that is American politics.

Conservatives here have picked unborn children as a group they can ostentatiously “protect”. It’s a particularly useful group for them, as the unborn have no ability to declare, “If you want to help us, SUPPORT OUR MOTHERS!”

So, conservatives get to feel righteous, while their leaders manipulate them with this crusade to further their own ends.

Abortion has become a religious battleground, and the US is a lot more religious than Europe
