I have said many times that Republicans should back away from the religion thing (putting prayer in school, etc) and abortion in particular. Let women decide how to handle this sensitive issue.
我说过很多次,共和党人应该远离宗教话题(比如在 schools 里祈祷等)以及堕胎问题。让女性自己决定如何处理这个敏感问题。
I am against abortion morally, but I honestly do not think the government should get involved.
我在道德上反对堕胎,但我确实认为政府不应该介入。
Those two things alone would bring millions of people to their side. Unfortunately they would also lose a chunk of their base.
仅凭这两点,就会使数百万人站在他们那边。不幸的是,他们也会失去一部分基本盘。
It's how politics works, sadly.
唉,这就是政治的运作方式。
BUUUUT...
Since Democrats seem intent on violating the Constitution and our human rights (the 1st and 2nd Amendments for starters) I will vote for anyone who wants to ban abortion.
既然民主党人似乎决心违反宪法和我们的人权(首先是第一和第二款修正案),我将投票支持任何想要禁止堕胎的人。
In fact, I have become a single issue voter. Ban abortion or get F@cked. This has been the Democrat strategy for well over 5 decades now. And I see how effective it has been.
事实上,我已经成为一个单一议题投票者。要么禁止堕胎,要么去死吧。几十年来,这一直是民主党的策略。而且我看得很清楚,它有多有效。
One abortion is banned, then we can go after other issues and programs for women and minorities. In fact, I would gladly back a bill that restricts the right of Democrats to own firearms. I would also back a bill that limits minorities and women's right to free speech - since restricting "hate" speech is all the rage these days. Let's see how it feels wearing that shoe for a century or so.
现在只禁止堕胎,接下来就可以针对女性和少数群体的其他议题与计划开刀。事实上,我很乐意支持一项限制民主党人持枪权的法案。我也会支持限制少数群体和女性言论自由的法案——毕竟现在“仇恨言论”管制可是大热话题。让我们看看连续一个世纪穿上这双鞋是什么滋味。
Maybe when that pain starts to set in, we can all come back to the table and have a reasonable discussion about everyone's Rights.
也许当这种痛苦开始蔓延时,我们都能回到谈判桌前,就每个人的权利展开理性的讨论。
Until then
在那之前
