Re the Blue laws - I'm in Indiana, and they just got rid of a restriction on selling alcohol on Sundays. I honestly couldn't tell you what changed though. I do know that if someone's a drunk, then they'll get around whatever restrictions anyway. Case in point: my next door neighbor, who is the town drunk, a drug addict, and has had police called to his house an average of once a month since I moved in.
To me, while I may struggle to understand something (transgender for example), I also try to be accepting. I am more interested in are you a good person based on your actions than other things. IE, if you're abusing animals or people, you're not a good person and I will hate your guts for that reason. If you're gay, as long as it's consensual, IDGAF.
Regarding abortion, realistically, there are 3 basic situations where an abortion is going to happen:
1. Medical issues of some sort require the pregnancy to be ended. This is a tragedy, don't make it worse.
2. Rape/incest - these are crimes. As such, they should not happen. Since they still do happen, why are we trying to traumatize an already traumatized victim? That's cruel, and see the point above are you a good person.
3. Didn't want to get pregnant in the first place - we can prevent these! Seriously, we have how many versions of the pill, and implants, and IUDs, etc? Ignorance and lack of access to birth control are the real problem here, and we can fix that. Require comprehensive sex ed that covers all the biology, STDs, problems, and let's throw in healthy relationships vs abusive behaviors. Make everyone go, and while we'll miss some people because they don't pay attention, we're going to greatly increase the average level of knowledge. Make birth control affordable and easily obtained. The numbers of unwanted pregnancies and thus abortions would plummet. And this is the category that everyone hates anyway - the first two are much less controversial.
