Assuming you didn't understand what I wrote; I was stating that both sides of this issue are contributing to unsound policy because their more interest in furthering the righteousness of their tribe.
What tribe are you talking about?
There are two sides of this argument. One, women are autonomous, self-determined beings with the mental acuity to make their own life changing decisions, and are deserving of equal rights. The other, women don't know what's best for them, and if we don't regulate their bodies, they'll do things we don't approve of, and are not deserving of equal rights.

All the non-partisan polls show a very large majority of people want abortion legal.

Medicare : provided BY and funded BY the federal government
You said that health care has always been the responsibility of the states. But you're wrong. Because Medicare is health care provided by and the responsibility of the federal government.
Currently US politics is dominanted by two groups more interested in tribalisum than the collective well-being of all Americans.
Take this nonsensical diatribe you just posted. Eather your being extremely hyperbolic in an attempt to score silly political points or you mistakenly believe that "Women's rights" are so fragile that they cannot withstand a set back to unfettered access to abortion.
The actual problem isn’t the Republicans v Democrats having a war of ideologies but that there are Progressives v Americans within each party that muddle the message and cause confusion.
Abortion isn’t D v R issue, it isn’t even Liberalism v Conservatism but very much a Progressive v Morality issue.

What a BullS# dismissal.
Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Republican and Democrat women alike have continued to rely on abortion access. Pro-choice men and women come from all American "tribes".

WTF? A fundamental right that is taken away cannot survive. Privacy, autonomy and equal protection can't withstand laws that override that those fundamental rights.

Remind me, are we talking about forced vaccination or abortion "rights" again?
The privacy, autonomy, equal protection words are rather stirring; I just can't remember which issues we are and aren't applying them to?

No one is telling women what to do with their bodies, just what they are not allowed to do with the human bodies growing inside of them when the health of the mother isn't being compromised.
