Conservatives believe that they should get special rights simply because of who they are. This isn’t grounded in a shared moral system; conservative values are about elevating the “right” people to power and privilege.
It’s why conservatives don’t care what the people who represent them do: they believe that their representative deserves to be there simply because they’ve signalled that they’re culturally conservative.
It’s an ideology for losers, and I mean that literally. The “left” side of the political spectrum is about empowering those who never had much to lose, while the “right” side is about reclaiming lost privileges for those who feel entitled to the whole pie.
The right isn’t really against abortion even if they pretend to be; they’re against it for the people who they want to control.
Exactly this.
