Being honest, I think those who believe abortion is murder should not have abortions. I think they should try to persuade others to believe as they do instead of trying to control their opponents through legislation. Legislating the behavior of others to go against their own personal beliefs is guaranteed to generate ill will.

I agree that party primaries seem to be controlled by the extremists. They have that control because the moderates fail to push back. So here we are, unable to reduce the influence of the wing nuts and whack-a-doodles. Which party most closely embraces sanity? With Rs pulling facts out of their asses, lying about practically everything, and nominating nutcases, I'd say it's the Ds, their wokism, cancel culture, and over-stated trans rights notwithstanding.
