Women are (largely) one-issue voters for abortion—and they’re keeping the Democrats afloat

If you’re a man who loves this nation, this is for you—and, I make this petition purely appealing to your own self-interest—but if you’re a member of the male sex, and you truly understand the never-been-higher stakes of the game at this point in American history, then you should be radically anti-abortion. Allow me to explain why.

Women are (largely) one-issue voters for abortion, and they’re keeping the Democrats afloat. Just take a look at this video put out by Owen Shroyer a few days back:

Now, speaking as a conservative woman, I do not believe women should have the ability to vote—I hold this position as a matter of both personal opinion (which is the subject of another essay entirely), as well as practicality. As a woman who votes for conservative principles, I am the minority, with a substantial majority of women supporting leftist progressivism. I vote conservative because I want my conservative values pushed into public policy, but I’m not getting my way because progressive women are a weighty portion of the voting bloc; so weighty in fact that they overwhelm conservative voters, and sustain the Democrat party. (The numbers are amplified when you consider that roughly 72% of “never-married” women lean left, and we live in a culture where marriage rates are rapidly dissipating.)

If only men voted though? I would get my way, as male voters are vastly Republican/conservative. I’d be happy to surrender my privilege to vote (voting is a privilege, not a right, which is also another essay entirely) in order to actually get what I want out of government. Any and every individual’s own self-interest is found in limited government and a trend towards the ideals that made America great, whether they recognize it or not, and I couldn’t care less if I were allowed to vote that into reality… or not. Emotions aside, this is simply the rational perspective for a conservative woman.

But why are women largely one-issue voters for abortion? Simply put, because women are emotional creatures.

For better or worse, a woman is a woman, and for better or worse, a man is a man. And, because men possess an ability to emotionally detach in a way that many women cannot, men (as a whole) fail to understand that an abortion, even if the woman has deluded herself into thinking it’ll be a good thing, or tells the man that “this is my body and it’s what I want,” it’s catastrophic to the mental well-being of the mother—honest psychologists have a name for it, and it’s called Post-Abortion Syndrome, a type of PTSD, which manifests in many of the same ways.

Men, I hate to admit this because I’m not guiltless, but women don’t say what they mean when they’re upset. In a vast majority of situations where abortion is even a consideration—casual sex relationships—the mother tells the father she’s pregnant and she’s considering her “options,” or maybe she even says she wants an abortion. She unequivocally doesn’t, but she doesn’t want to be the sucker who got burned by a one-night stand or fling. This is evidenced largely by the fact that even though pro-abortion women vote for abortion, when faced with their own pregnancy, they face serious doubts about procuring the procedure for themselves. They want to keep their baby.

What she really wants is to hear him say, “No babe, we’re not going to do that. We’re going to make this work. I’m going to step up and commit to you alone, and our baby.” (Unmarried women make up the largest demographic group of females who obtain abortions with 87% of abortions being procured by single women.)
