I actually know pro-lifers. I used to be a pretty ardent one myself. I used to be the sort that believed in no exceptions. Pro-lifers, or a least, a lot of them, don't see it as a means of controlling women or being detrimental in any way to them. They think they're helping the unborn and women by preventing abortions. They really do believe that. I'm sorry that you never got to meet any pro-lifers, or at least ones who aren't misogynistic.

I agree with you on the unions, but the other issue is that a lot of jobs have been outsourced over the years. Unfortunately, those jobs probably aren't coming back.

Honestly, I'm more concerned about other stuff Cook has done to Apple, like taking away the headphone jack, making repairs impossible, essentially shutting down 3rd-party repair shops, etc.

I was just using that as an example.

Another great one is immigration. Liberals thinks conservatives want to restrict immigration because they hate foreigners. Conservatives want to stop immigration because the job market sucks and has sucked since 2008.

This is unfortunately true of both sides.

For example, conservatives think pro- choicers are callous baby-killers who only care about abortion because it allows them to "whore around" without consequences. Liberals on the other hand, think pro-lifers are misogynists who want to ban abortion because banning it will hurt women and because they want to make the country more like The Handmaid's Tale.
