    Interesting that they wrote "us" when it's happening in the US not the UK. The British right have significantly different views on abortion from the American right

      The author’s US based, with a wife and child there, although she’s from the UK originally and writing for a British paper - I’m guessing “us” in this context is people who live in America. I remember looking it up specifically when I saw something else she’d written, because I thought the same, whatever the column was seemed quite US centric for a UK paper but it didn’t mention that bit of context anywhere.

        I think the Guardian has a sizable audience in the US. I actually really like their coverage of US politics.

        I would also say- US conservatives can/would/will export these views elsewhere as much as is possible. So saying it's what they want "for us", meaning everyone, still could be seen as true
