    It’s not hypocrisy in the same way that the Pope’s opposition to both birth control and abortion isn’t hypocrisy: the ends don’t justify the means. I assume you think of government support for pregnant women as a good thing, but a lot of conservatives appear to disagree with you. To them, abortion is bad, government “handouts” are bad, and even if abortion is worse than handouts, doing a bad thing to prevent an even worse thing is wrong.

      That is also hypocrisy, thanks for another great example.

      That is literally what the government is for, to support its citizens, yes.

      but a lot of conservatives appear to disagree with you.

      They also disagree with climate change and the earth being more than 6000 years old. Doesn’t make them right, or any less hypocritical.
