Why do minorities and women in the US generally vote left wing?

The only reason Democrats focus so much on abortion is because it's something upper middle class white women care about when their birth control fails. For poor women, there's literally no difference in outcomes between getting teen pregnant and not getting teen pregnant (there's been studies). You'll never see the Democrats gather behind, like, drug treatment programs as a women's issue, because ugh, white trash. (And implying black women might sometimes do drugs is racist, obviously).

It shows how much the Dem party respects women. Keep mentioning that same point about abortion and get them to forget their lessening self worth because of pandering programs. Yes women, let the men handle the issues. We'll get your abortion, just let us take care of everything.

No, but it's true! The reason Democrats focus on cultural issues is because cultural issues still effect you when you're rich. Some black woman at Harvard gets asked if she's a cleaner, it's a fucking scandal!! Some black woman gets evicted because her boyfriend beat her and the landlord kicks you out if you get the cops called, nobody gives a damn. That's why there's so many rich gay Republicans now--they all live in socially liberal bubbles like San Francisco or Manhattan where being gay is a non-issue.

It's a non-issue most places that actually have public utilities but lack a large muslim population. I know plenty of hicks that just don't give a shit about homosexuality. I don't know why that changed so fast but it did.

How?

And even if it was, (it's not) the states that like abortion will still have it and the states that don't will have it technically legal but require 10,000 hoop jumps first.

The moment Kavanaugh joins the court every state with a republican legislature will outlaw abortion and push it to the scotus as soon as possible.

The closest thing I know of to anything like that is Alabama pushing a constitutional amendment that says the state is officially prolife but is also unwilling to take any kind of legal action about it because they don't want to get sued. Sorta like how you can put "all natural" on a product to make it sell better but it doesn't actually mean anything. Kavanaugh isn't a fundie looking to overturn that precedent at the first opportunity.

Democrats focus more on social issues, which tends to be more relevant to women and minorities.

Idk how you think the Supreme Court works, but he's not going to single handedly overturn a previous court decision. I believe for that to happen, a similar case would have to go to court and 5-4 justices would have to rule to overturn a previous decision.
Ex. Plessy vs Ferguson instated separate but equal, but later Brown vs Board of Education overruled that.

Republicans focus on social issues as well, it's just their approach is typically "whatever the Bible has to say about it".

Right I forgot Ohio, the state that's so retarded it banned the abortion of retard fetuses.

Holy shit this law is dense and hard to read. But from what I can make out so far, it just abolishes any state funding going towards abortion. Doesn't ban abortion itself. But the bill is huge and they're certainly couching it in that language so I could easily be missing something where it's an actual abortion ban and not just something sold as one to appeal to dumb fundies.

Why do you want r.etarded folk to be dead.

I have no problem with people raising retarded babies if that's what they want, as long as they pay for it. They won't though, the tax payers will. But in any case a retarded fetus isn't a folk. It's a folk in progress and if you catch it early there's no moral quandry at all about eliminating a person.

They're children, they aren't "fetuses".

It's impossible to pinpoint a precise point when a fetus turns over into a child but that doesn't mean that the thing is as much a person at 8 weeks as it is immediately prior to birth. And even then, there's some rare and extremely horrific conditions that can't be spotted until very near delivery.
