    Really? Because, as a singular example, those seeking to undermine individual rights in the current GOP seem to be highly educated people.

    Can you name a few just so we can keep a lookout for them? I intentionally used the phrase "more so" to indicate I was not talking in absolutes. Perhaps you missed that. The point I was making is absolutely supported. Here is a chart showing support for abortion as a function of education and it's a pretty dramatic spread. Highly educated people are FAR more likely to support abortion rights than poorly educated ones.

    No, I actually recognized the point you were trying to make initially. My pushback was more in reference to what I interpreted as a generalization that read as being applied too broadly. Aptitude and intelligence aren’t defined by level of education imo.
    I have a limited college education. So, perhaps I’m more easily offended by those types of statements than I should be.

    You got that out of this?

    "More so with the uneducated ones."

    @GatorJMDZ …..It was a statement with no context added. So, yes.
    Again, I did feel like I understood what your statement was alluding to.

    I’m to the point where I could support a sane Republican due to certain issues, but abortion by itself would likely keep me from doing so.
