Thanks for elaborating my point in detail. For reference, my post

"There are no wedge issues - propaganda doesn't actually exist. At the very least, my team doesn't do it."

I don’t understand your response. Are you saying all those other people in other countries are duped by GOP propaganda as well?


> seeing as how it’s illegal in two dozen countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa

List of countries with same or more restrictive laws for abortion when compared with Texas abortion laws.

Europe - None

Asia - Afghanistan, iraq, syria, Yemen, Burma, Papua new Guinea, Bangladesh

Africa - Somalia, Mali, Malawi, south Sudan, Congo, Niger, Nigeria, Madagascar.

America - Venezuela, Haiti, Suriname, Paraguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, tiny Caribbean islands.

Your use of the phrase "seeing as how it’s illegal in two dozen countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa" would have been a great example of propaganda, especially considering that no country in Europe is as restrictive as Texas. Especially, leading with "Europe,..." instead of leading with " barely 2 dozen non European countries across the 200+ countries in the world".

But as we all know wedge issues and propaganda don't exist. So, my previous paragraph can actually be deleted because it is a non-sequitur.
