I think Republicans need to still say they value life, recognize that it is now a state issue (where they will fight for life there), and that at a federal level they want no federal funds or facilities used for abortions. I think that is where Trump is at today, plus he has consistently opposed late term and partial birth abortions, supports except for life of the mother, etc. I think these are good to state, as Republicans and Trump still have values, as president or as a party. Otherwise, washing our hands of the issue, means we now support whatever Democrats want to promote and legalize.

This is really hypercritical. Republicans AND Democrats said gay marriage and gay supremacy was a federal issue and states can't decide for themselves.

So, how does that work?

And Democrats have made it very clear they are passing legislation in Congress to make all abortion legal everywhere in the U.S. So now that Democrats are fighting as hard as they can, and Republicans have washed their hands of it, what do you think is going to happen?

Why doesn't the GOP admit they agree with the Dems on social issues?

The problem is that we are not the same population as we were when Roe was originally decided. Two generations since have been inured to the hideous lie of "my body, my choice."

As a result, when state referendums are forced, the citizenry tends to choose abortion, even in red states like Ohio. These referendums often go MUCH further in allowing abortions than even the state laws existing under Roe.
