I mean I am pro choice. But there should be a limit. I do not believe a woman 6 mo pregnant with a belly out to there should get an abortion on demand. In my mind that's a formed baby, a human being. And at that point they have rights.
As for gay rights my son is gay. After raising a gay child NO ONE can tell me I don't support the lgb community. But I don't support the trans narrative of being women of being female, I don't. And apparently nowadays that translates into being anti the entire lgb.
