As soon as news leaked that the Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats starting working at making abortion a midterm issue — a message that is “already falling flat” with voters, The Hill reported Wednesday.
“Here we are with leadership basically [reduced] to begging for people to vote,” Aaron Chappell, political director of the grassroots group Our Revolution told the publication. “No clear plan, no promises of what those votes will translate to.”
Now that the issue of abortion laws has been returned to state legislatures, Democrats have begun chattering about attempting to “codify Roe” or even revive the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would prohibit local, state, and federal officials from preventing abortions at any stage of pregnancy. Pro-abortion groups are already dumping money into Democrats’ campaigns and paying for political attack advertisements against pro-life Republicans.
Democrats are also “hoping to create enough urgency to tilt the turnout numbers in their favor” by fear-mongering about a potential national abortion ban if Republicans win back the House and Senate in November. But according to The Hill, some Democrat strategists “question whether that’s the right approach.”
“I think that there is just this wishful thinking on the part of the party establishment that suddenly Roe being overturned is good news, that this changes the tide of the midterms,” Chappell said.

It’s now in the hands of the states right? Voting’s not gonna change it. It’s power.
BTW -I’m reading a Noam Chomsky book and he talks about it. He’s not too kind to B.J. or the Kenyan. He’s not too equal opportunity with his criticism and he’s all over the place with history. Something tells me he’d get along with Trump. The book is called “Who Rules The World”. Just thought I’d give the left a try. It’s not enlightening but interesting.
That, plus their dominance among Hispanic, will propel the rats to victory in November. Oh…wait a minute…
I thank the Lord they’re idiots, or they’d be even more destructive
Dims have been suffering under the delusion that in the past polls taken about abortion...were real...were true.
THEY WERE NOT. And now the real figures are making themselves known.
America is PRO LIFE.
It’s because only 5% care about this issue, the other 95% have it figured out that it’s not a big deal.
I’m still wondering if overturn of politically correct Roe was possibly a desperate Democratic manufactured “crisis,” Democrats then coming to the rescue with unconstitutional federal abortion protection laws, to try to survive the wrath of Trump’s red tsunami of patriot supporters in 2022 elections.
Insights welcome.
