I imagine there is probably some potential middle ground on abortion between “all abortion is murder” and “any abortion restriction is patriarchal hegemony”.

all abortion is the business of the woman having the abortion and any person she chooses to involve in her decision
that's it

I was speculating on the existence of political middle ground not on the actual morality of the issue.

at this point tho anybody who views this as a real right worth protecting also surely realizes that all the "middle ground" stuff works to enable the ongoing bit-by-bit nationwide onslaught against that right by a thousand cuts. and those who view abortion as an evil aren't going to vote for anyone who recognizes it as a right.

the middle ground is that if you are personally anti-abortion don't get one

Buttigieg has been really rubbing me the wrong way since I voted. I guess Biden then?

On a pure stylistic level Klobuchar appeals to me the most out of this crowd, but I'm not sure her kind of snarky, back-of-the-classroom persona would translate well to a national stage that likes passion and the "vision thing". Whatever his other flaws, Buttigieg at least gets that, and he's not a million years old or a billionaire, so I guess I probably should have voted for him.

bloomberg worse than gabbard imo
― honky wonk badonkadonk (crüt), Sunday, 1 March 2020 02:43 (four years ago) link
i agree but that might be influenced by the fact that bloomberg is much more likely to become president than gabbard is
