While abortion is highly popular in this country and plays well for the dems, it’s a hill worth dying on. Saving lives of the unborn is far more important than winning elections.
Consider the issue of gun control. This is a social issue that is generally unpopular, even in blue states. Yet Democrats are still willing to die on that hill, and have lost control of legislatures because of their insistence on gun control. Republicans have failed to learn this lesson. Persistence pays.
If we don’t win elections we can’t save the unborn. If we didn’t elect Trump, Roe would still be the law
