These people could still be comrades, but their reactionary views should be harshly criticized. Stalin surely had some bad takes by today’s standards, but we need to consider his environment to contextualize those views; it’s not reasonable to be anti-abortion with the information available today (not that it was “reasonable” then – I’m not sure what word to use, but I hope I’m being decently clear). IMO, this isn’t as clear-cut as with, for example, slave owners – slavery should always have been clearly abhorrent, whereas I can kind of understand being anti-abortion at the time if one’s views on the subject had never been challenged
Most major economies and most countries have had abortion access for generations. We now have empirical evidence of the effects of abortion access. Religious convictions isnt a good enough reason to block people from having them.
I dont care if you’re working class and aint got a pot to piss in in the hills of Appalacia. If you’re against abortion for any reason; youre fucking wrong and that dimension of their politic shouldnt even be up for debate or inquiry. Being working class isnt an excuse for being a bigot or stupid and it aint a get out of education free card.
When socialism comes to Turtle Rock, itll be secular. Fucking cope.
