Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

Not original replier, but personally viably outside the womb changes the entire game. A strong major of my support for abortion is "I'm a man, I can't possibly imagine getting pregnant and birthing another human". So much of the onus of birth is the woman, a human that we also have to consider the feelings and health of. If viably was possible outside the womb, I could probably be argued into agreeing to ban abortion with some key exceptions because the world isn't black and white.

However, I am curious on your thoughts on medical euthanasia.

So do you currently think abortion should only be allowed in instances that are about the mother’s health?

Not OP but I think women are people, so yeah they should have basic bodily autonomy. Might not jive that well with the folk that view women as nothing more than property though.
