And now you see why I've never been fooled by George fucking Conway.
The feint here is the thing where they say they just want to make abortion a state law thing and not a constitutional right thing. That *probably* sounds okay, to the white women inclined to vote Republican.

But for poor women, who are less mobile than white Republican women can apparently imagine, the "right" to choose is meaningless if *access* to said choice is limited along state jurisdictional lines. Wealthy white women can fly to New York, or Canada, other people not so much.
Moreover, taking away the federal right opens it up for all kinds of federal restrictions that will again fall hardest on the poor or those who can't afford a freaking *lawyer* to walk them through it, during the 2 or 3 weeks Republicans will let them have a "choice."
But the finally, most obvious piece of claptrap is the thing Conway is NOT telling you: that the move against abortion rights has always ALWAYS been about taking away the right to privacy. Because THAT's what allows people to get birth control w/o clearing it with their husbands.
The right to privacy did not start with abortion, and dismantling it will not end with abortion. And Conway knows that.
