    I'm 100% certain libertarian outlets like reason.com are anti-abortion is because they are chomping at the bit for the GOP to go old school biblical and make the age of consent for marriage to be something like 8 years old. And the libertarians smack their lips at that because if an 8 year old girl can get married - some of their most horrific libertarian dreams can start to come true.

    Reason's opinion articles on abortion are piles of ridiculous and wholly unreadable nonsense because they want the GOP Christofascism to win so they can get what they want. But they don't want to seem that way. An example where text is a bunch of stats mashed together to show... I dunno... the issue is "nuanced".

    Public Opinion About Abortion Is Complex and Sometimes Confused

    The plurality apparently includes many people who lean toward the latter position. Although only 19 percent of respondents said abortion should be "illegal in all circumstances," 47 percent described themselves as "pro-life."

    Reading it in context is even more confusing.
