is that true about the progressiv*e left ?

My wife is atheist and I'm agnostic. Both of us disagree with your claim that a fetus has no rights and are pro-life.

OK, but I didn't claim that. I was describing why atheists would typically not be worried by the issue you described. I should have said "most atheists" as there are obviously going to be some exceptions such as yourself.

Actually, I think there are probably more progressives who would consider voting for a pro-life Christian Republican than there are conservatives who would consider voting for a pro-choice atheist Democrat.

Being pro-choice is an opinion.

Being pro-life is a belief that one is acting under a mandate from a supernatural being who rules the universe.

The later is inherently more compelling I would say.

I think the underlying premise of what you said is true. For those who recognize an unborn child as equally human as themselves, the abortion issues will typically hold more weight when they prioritize their voting issues.

That need not be an tied to any faith.

Its sad though, so many progressives just cant seem to look past his personal beliefs on religion and abortion, or god forbid ever vote for a evil Republican especially one from Texas

We see this time and time again all over comment sections on youtube and news sites. Its just as bad as trying to convert full blood neo-cons.

Say he is from Pennsylvania
