Even before Tuesday’s elections, many progressives insisted the question of whether protecting abortion rights wins elections was already asked and answered. Democrats made abortion rights the centerpiece of their campaign advertising during the 2022 midterms, a cycle where Democrats outperformed expectations, kept control of the US Senate, and staved off a red wave. Polls last year also found abortion rights to be a significantly motivating issue for both independent and Democratic voters.
Abortion rights ballot measures won in all six states where they appeared in 2022, including states like Montana, Kentucky, and Kansas that otherwise elected Republican candidates.

Baby killers just gotta kill babies.
How come it always ranks so low on issues of importance?
“Then I welcome the implosion”
Getting old enough that sadly i don’t care. There won’t be a rebuild. People will live in squalor and chaos, which is what a majority are willing to have happen with little regard to a path forward. Yourself included, apparently.
No slight intended, just an observation.
It’s now a state issue. You have to be an idiot to think that VA or Ohio would vote to restrict abortion so if you’re a Republican why would you run on that? And a Dem would not run on the right to choose in Mississippi.
Civilizations have died and risen. The rebuild always takes time/centuries at times. The point is that I will not be a participant or better yet, appease that which (Policies and poor decision making) causes civilizations to implode.
I am as prolife as anyone, but I think we may need to hit this from a different direction. Tell the proaborts that IF they are so determined to kill their babies just go ahead and do it because we don’t want any more of their kind in the next generation. In fact, offer them free tubal ligations and/or hysterectomies with every abortion -— maybe even change the whole protocol so that “abortion” means removing the whole pregnant uterus and ovaries. And proabort men need to be vasectomized and/or castrated so they don’t make babies that will be aborted. It will be better for us all if the inhumane proaborts cull their kind out of our human genepool. Just an idea.
Republicans must keep losing elections to save the unborn.You got it backwards.
Wake up. Even in Kansas abortion restrictions lost huge.
Stop living in delusion. Young women are different today. You are living in old age.
Abortion restriction initiatives lost big in every red state last year. Are you keeping up with news?
Excellent points. Only problem is women don’t want abortion restrictions. They are not pro-abortion necessarily. They just don’t want to end up in prison from what they decide was necessary to abort for whatever reason. Europe has been pro-abortion for decades.
Excellent idea. Let the liberals abort all they want. The liberal gene pool will be extinct.
Actually, most people are OK with abortion restrictions after the first trimester. However, they are also clueless about what the laws are, the democrats throw lots of money into lying about the laws, and the GOP does an abysmal job of actually communicating what people are voting on.
I seriously doubt that a majority of Ohioans are OK with shoving scissors into the head of a newborn, but they are OK with the scared teenager getting an abortion in the first month.
And they are definitely stupid enough to think that is what they were voting for.
“You ignore them at your peril.”
This statement is somewhat of an exaggeration. Legitimate voters are not the enemy.
The enemy is the people orchestrating election fraud, which includes mind controlling the voters in the way Robert Epstein, Google whistleblower, describes.
The other forms of mind control, which started many, many decades ago, are also a form of election fraud. This is what happened to the women you’re talking about.
But if these women could have been interviewed by Ray Comfort, they would have changed their minds about abortion.
Here is Ray Comfort: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4195283/posts
When we find out just how rampant election fraud has been, it will be shocking.
As reprehensible as I think abortion is, it is not a federal country-wide issue that can be addressed with one ban OR allowance criteria set. It is rightly a STATES issue and should remain there, and national parties should recognize this. If someone wants to live in a state where murder of the unborn is sanctioned, then so be it. Likewise, if there are enough in a state who don’t believe in it, then so be that.
I am not saying they are the enemy. I am saying that the problem is not primarily vote fraud.
There really is a very sizable percentage of the electorate who simply DO NOT SHARE YOUR VALUES, and it is a big mistake to ignore them.
You regard abortion as murder, and a heinous act. THEY DO NOT.
You are dealing with a sizable percentage of the people who regard THEIR lives, futures, comforts, and preservation of options as being more important than the life of a fetus. And they will strenuously oppose you if you try to enforce your values on them.
“I would say that it’s mostly women that have never had children”
I never had children, and never wanted to. (And never did.) I think abortion is heinous and literal murder. I’ll never understand the dolts who pass on simple birth control when the potential for pregnancy is great. One is simple; the other is the opposite of simple.
Abortion can be outlawed in every single state, but it still will happen. Changing the hearts of women (and men, who also love abortion) is the absolute ONLY way to end it.
Hearts won’t be changed as long as America continues on the current trajectory when it comes to religion and the First Amendment.
I don’t think he “does” God, being from India.

“Go to term/near-term and give the baby up for adoption.”
Exactly. And now new mothers can anonymously surrender babies to police or fire departments. No questions asked. Give the kid a chance in this world, for Pete’s sake.
This really isn’t about abortion. It’s about Satan manipulating people to murder.
