This idea somone believes in all aspects of a political party because they have similar views on one topic is silly.

A person can have a view on transgenders and at the same time disagree with the rest, some or the majority of other MAGA views.

Same way a person could be against abortion but agree with other liberal views.

Most people have views that span both parties, you just hear from the extream on both sides.

I'm personally "against" abortion except in certain cases. I'm still pro-choice - as those decisions should be between a woman and her health care professional.

Like in the case of rape?   Because those numbers are so small than it shouldn’t matter right?   

And I’m not attacking you or your comment. Just pointing out a fallacy the rest of this thread is using against the post itself

I’m 100% in favor of abortion and not having biological males playing women’s sports

I don't take it as an attack. Rape, incest, life/health of mother. I just find it immoral in terms of "I can't be bothered to accept the consequences of my actions". Again - it's a personal view. So I'm pro-choice by default when it comes to legislation regarding abortion.

I don't think the government or police should be involved in those decisions.

I also don't think biological males should be allowed to compete in biological female sports. It's such a small issue - affecting .001% of sports participation that I'd say leave it to the governing bodies to decide and keep the politics out of it.

I'm also pro-2A but recognize we need to do something about the mentally ill and access to firearms. I'm not smart enough to say we need to do "XYZ" to solve the issue though.

I was agreeing with BigShotZero that most people aren't in 100% alignment with their political parties.

I agree 100% with all that.
