If you’re seriously honest when asking that then you should really look up some political ideologies. I’d also recommend not hyper focusing on the US and US politics.
You either dont believe in these things or you’re not as right as you think you are.
Maybe I’m not understanding. You’re a right wing person that recommends we dont look at right wingers in the US for reference? I guess I just start at Nazi then?
I’m recommending everyone to not look at the US as a reference for a sane and nuanced political system. In Europe we’re generally not A or B, although you can definitely say you’re left or right you don’t have to be either the left or the right.
I hold values which are generally right leaning, as well as left. But overall I vote blue, not red (which would be the other way around in the US, for whatever reason).
If you look at the strong right party Kristdemokraterna in Sweden you’ll find that they support Swedens current abortion laws, which allows for it. Even though they’re strongly for traditional family values and overall a strong right political ideology.
In contrast, the Swedish Vänsterpartiet (literally the left party) with roots in communism, have voted the same way as the far right party Sverigedemokraterna with its roots in nazism and white supremacy. (Just to clarify, Sweden does not only have these two “extremes”. The Riksdag has a total of 8 parties as of today.)
Things are more nuanced outside of US politics. I know what beliefs I hold and live by. I don’t necessarily think those should be put into law (I support the liberty for women to chose whether to abort or not. If I were put in the situation that my wife got unexpectedly pregnant, I would never support aborting.)
Ah, not a piece of confusion here, the US is a good example of when people with right leaning views actually have control the government, there is no left to compare to.
Also, am I reading that you wouldn’t support your wife’s right to choose an abortion? But do you support her decision to choose, which is what I read the current laws states?
Everyone hates abortion. It is a last resort for a woman who does not want to give birth to a child. The people who claim to be pro-life, at least where I live, want to stop sexual education in schools and limit the availability of birth control. This results in more abortions.
There is nothing in the world that could shake my belief that abortion is not morally wrong, and I support any woman’s right to choose. At the same time I think abortion is terrible and should be avoided except as a last resort. These beliefs are not incompatible.
People on the right attempt to poison the discussion by painting those who choose abortion as people who use it as birth control. Like they have abortions for the fun of it. They lie about the existence of partial birth abortions. They lie that the matter removed in an abortion is a thinking, feeling human life. My wife has had an abortion as has my best friend’s wife. These were horrible, expensive, emotional experiences. They should be avoided at all cost, yet they are still morally correct.
Brazil has a decent political diversity on paper, but the right here is pretty much a copy of the USA right, who mainly defend the interest of the rich (basically they’re all in favor of destroying the environment for profit, privatizing health and other public services, “defending” family values, anti abortion, pro “free speech”, voting en masse to increase their own salaries and being USA’s obedient little bitch). The “center” parties are pure mercenaries and, when not bought by any one side, will ally with the right.

Glances are rightwingers in Germany, Japan, India, UK…

I support women’s liberty to choose. My personal belief is that abortions are immoral and should be avoided.

These 2 sentences are in direct opposition.
How so? It’s the same as free speech: the government won’t step in, but it’s still possible to say something immoral
Please do explain how.
