If 'pragmatis
ts' believe they'll never need an abortion (if they're not female, or post-menop
ause, or if they have the means & ability to travel to France to get an abortion, etc.), then assaults on a woman's right to choose aren't 'deal-brea
kers'.
If 'pragmatis
ts' are employed, if they don't own a home (or if they do own a home & able to make mortgage payments), if they have healthcare insurance through their work, if they're young & living in their parents' garage, if they haven't had any significan
t health problems, if their parents/gr
andparent
s are dead, if their parents/gr
andparent
s are alive & supporting them (or not supporting them, & able to support themselves
), etc., IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
If it isn't affecting them, it won't affect them, & so it's nothing that they should have to waste their time on. Or in their 'bottom line'.
There's nothing "pragmatic
" about these people. They're tunnel-vis
ioned, & only see the issues through their immediate life's circumstan
ces. Some might say that they're in denial. Others might say they're selfish, "narcissis
tically-i
n clined". Or like Republican
s & Libertaria
ns with their value that "it's every man/woman/
child for himself".
But it's certainly not a Democratic value.
Until you recognize that what you're calling 'pragmatis
m' is the problem that prevents solutions, you're keeping the f@c!sts in power.
