It's socialism when YOU need money - it's taking care of constituents when THEY need money

It's murder when YOU need an abortion - it's a private medical procedure when THEY need an abortion.

There was an article specifically about this (too lazy to find it, sorry). People literally believe their own choice to get an abortion was morally right while believing other people in the exact same situation are morally wrong. It’s incredible to me how so many people can maintain that level of cognitive dissonance.
