How does the abortion and global warming issues affect opinions for the "March for Science?"

Possibly an unpopular opinion here but I feel like stuff like this wouldn’t be so divided if we make an effort for our voices to be heard.

Maybe not for those who don’t believe in climate change. It would be pretty ironic for them to be involved in stuff like this given the circumstances.

But for abortion, for example. Or other issues (eg racism). Right tend to avoid stuff like this because the left is obsessed about it and it seems like they are the only ones who “care” (in quotes bc that is obviously debatable). And then the right wing look racist blah blah.

Similarly, if the right is not involved with stuff like this, they look like they don’t believe in science.

I’m so exhausted that I don’t know if I’m making sense, but it seems like we are so divided on issues to the point where we don’t care about the issues we all agree on.

Anyway, I’m not against the march unless it’s pro choice/pro anything sinful. I do feel like science field is going downhill due to “political correctness” though.

You’re making sense.

The other issue is that each side likes to pick issues that point fingers at others.

We also need to look at ourselves and see what we can do to reduce abortions (and not have them), racism, global warming, etc.

I had a choir master as a kid and when there was a blame game going on, he pointed his finger and showed how one finger was pointed at someone else, but there were 4 fingers pointing back at himself.

I can get behind the mission statement, and I agree with the sentiment in general, so i clicked support for the MFS. But that is about my entire depth of knowledge on the organization and know little about how it may be politicized.
