Hate to break it to folks, but no one is going to win a statewide race anywhere in the US that says they support a full and complete ban on abortion, period.

Don’t have to like that reality, but that is the reality.

You believe that an absolute ban on abortion should be the law of the land, you can and should fight for it, but you better understand, you have a long long long multiple decades long fight ahead of you that isn’t about politicians its about changing the opinion and culture to where the majority agree that abortion should be 100% banned, and that is just not remotely where the US is ANYWHERE... not a state in this union where a statewide elected official running for office is going to get elected by stating they support and will fight for an absolutely ban on abortion.

Banning of abortion in states really only started in the late 1800s, and if you think the culture today is the same as it was in the 1880s or 1910s when these various state bans passed, you need to wake up.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but that’s the reality of where we are today. There is not one, single solitary state in this union that would pass a full and complete abortion ban today... not one of them. Not the reddest red state in the deepest south would pass a complete ban on abortion today.

This could change, with hard work and time, but where we are today? Don’t expect any politician trying to win election for any statewide office that would have any influence on actually passing an abortion ban to win.

A representative here or there could win depending on his district, but a statewide officer like a senator? Nope, not going to happen anytime soon.
