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.

    And it’s not something that you need to be a woman to have an opinion about considering it’s not just a woman’s body at stake.

    You’re right about one thing, men and other people who have uteruses also get a say.
    Over their own motherfucking bodies.
    About which you (nor your make believe feminists) get none, you abusive anti-choicer pos.

      There is no such thing as a man with a uterus. You were born a man or a woman and gender equals the sex organs that you have with very very exceptions for people like those born intersex or people with kleinfelter syndrome. But these are serious disorders and usually result in fertility and other cognitive problems. And they’re exceptionally rare. And not at all the same thing as transgenderism which is unfortunately a mental illness that’s being enabled to by society and activist groups that have put heavy political pressure on medical societies.

      There is zero quality science that supports transgenderism being anything other than a psychological phenomenon.

      Also it’s immoral to kill your unborn children for the sake of convenience.

          I’m not afraid of trans people. In fact I love them and I’m disturbed by the fact that they’re having their delusions enabled to the point where they’re mutilating their own genitals and making fools of themselves in public.

          Permanently ruining any chance of them getting married or having kids or having a family or anything once this fad dies down. They have tremendous value as human beings and they’re being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness because of echo chambers and stubbornness.

              You are a man and you have been fooled into this belief by a segment of society. It will haunt you until you accept your actual nature which is what you were born as.

            To say your comment rises to the level of transphobia would be disingenous. You have absolutely no understanding of what it means to be trans and have no business calling anyone delusional.

            Doubling down, comment after comment, earns you a ban. Read up on the topic before you come back.

        There is zero quality science that supports transgenderism being anything other than a psychological phenomenon.

        Only if you ignore the bulk of medical science. You can spend five minutes on PubMed. You don’t seem particularly literate, but you might be able to use assistive tools to help you.

          I’ve done exactly that and the vast majority of science on the topic results from unscientific methodology and cherry picked results that are the result of pressure groups putting pressure on researchers and creating a climate where they can’t have academic freedom of inquiry.

            Okay, so basically anything that doesn’t confirm your preconfirmed notions you discard. It’s very easy to confirm whatever you want if you dismiss everything that disproves it out of hand :)

        You are well within your right to say “abortion is a sin” like the way you are within your right to say “idolatry is a sin”.

        The problem is that your argument for abortion being the same charge as murder doesn’t amount to good legal reasoning. Not wanting people avoiding consequences for “debauchery” is just reason why YOU don’t want abortion to be legal and NOT a good reason to make abortion a murder charge.

          It’s not as an inconsequential as some obscure religious doctrine. You’re killing human beings in the name of convenience. It’s a perverse thing to try and pretend it’s about bodily autonomy.

            I never said anything about bodily autonomy. I stated that just because you think abortion is/can be “convenient” isn’t grounds for declaring abortion the same as a murder.

              I’m anticipating your arguments. And it leaves you without recourse and you’re not sure what to do with that.

              Just like you anticipated an argument there. But you’re wrong because I don’t think abortion is murder. I think it’s ugly and I think it’s awful and I think it should be reduced and should not be allowed for any other reason than health threatening risk, rape or incest.

              But it’s not murder. I don’t think we should be able to kill animals for convenience. I would place it in between an animal and an adult, fully born human.
