My Repub family.... almost all with better than average intellect..... are one-issue voters. Anti-abortion.
It seems to show a lack of intelligence to only care about that single issue.
Being born doesn't really help babies very much if they come into a world where they or their parents are likely to die from crime, starvation, global warming, nuclear war, ethnic cleansing, etc.

Suspiciously keeping her elbows out of view.
There are so many on both sides, but a good example from the radical , pro-Hamas left is this She is Rula Jebreal, Israeli-Italian of palestinian originsTop level grifter, lives in NYC and writes for Wapo and NYT, material supporter of terror and radical marxist when she talks about italian politics (far to the left of our "democratic party" equivalent which is already to the
