The poor person because just because I disagree with them on one issue doesn't mean that I lose all sympathy for them; I have no sympathy for rich people in basically any case unless it's something like they were abused as a kid.

Exactly. Feeling sympathy usually just ends up getting you hurt and taken advantage of.

You have to be extremely careful who you feel sympathy for.

"Poor" and "rich" are basically used as stand-ins for "good" and "bad" by the left these days.

The poor person because feelings aren't based on a single issue.

I think your idea of sympathy is a lot simpler than it is in reality. Wealth and opinion on abortion doesn't necessarily mean I do or don't have sympathy for someone. I would have to know their full situations and traits. I could have sympathy for both or neither.
