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.
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.
