Never underestimate the ability of the Republican party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Women have always been the core of the pro-life movement. Anyone who’s been involved in retail politics post-Roe can’t be unaware of that, though Cupp may simply be ignorant, rather than lying about this, it’s hard to tell with her.
Support for abortion on demand is limited to a thin layer of elite women, and young men (Dave Portnoy being a prime example).
The Dems see this, correctly, as a great fund-raising issue, but handled with an ounce of brains, it’s a massive vote-getter for the Republican base. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming months and years.
Also, Biden is in huge trouble with the Democrat base. Even Democrat Hispanics are very uncomfortable with abortion. Besides the fact that it makes sense culturally, my personal experience extends to sidewalk counseling in Chicago and Dem canvassing here in Arizona when many of the canvassers or candidates are Hispanic.
Democrats risk further alienating many Hispanics who are on board with Dem social welfare programs if they try to make this THE issue. Look at those thugs at the Capitol who were arrested. Not a Hispanic among them. ASU crazies (not as bad here as in Madison, WI, but there are some) and loser anglo men who are looking for free nookie.
Blacks are AWOL on this as well, not counting paid flacks.
