Republicans can’t sugarcoat their losses on abortion rights anymore
Vox ^ | Nov 8, 2023 | Rachel M. Cohen@rmc031

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.

“since when has dealing with women been logical and rational?”

Women aren’t the only ones who want abortions. Men who don’t want to be responsible for ... well ... anything often encourage or bully women into killing their babies.

“offer them free tubal ligations and/or hysterectomies with every abortion”

Don’t just “offer”. Require.

“Europe has been pro-abortion for decades.”

And Europe is a shining example of all things good? [SMH] WTH would anyone use EUROPE as a been positive comparison?

If the only way to lose is by letting the other side cheat, what does that say about our intelligence?

Not only Europe, but all G15 countries have abortions available. Even Catholic countries. American women are going to come out of woodwork to vote democrat every time they hear of restrictions

In my own case, my wife got pregnant at age 39 and I was 51.
Doctor advised amnio test because of our ages. We decided to skip the test since we would not abort even if baby had downs syndrome.

But I am a realist. Don’t like losing elections. Losing elections will do nothing to curb abortions.

Before reading the answers, I’m just going to say “We are not losing.” Just hold fast to what you know is right, and eventually the atrocity of abortion will be gone.

“Not only Europe, but all G15 countries have abortions available. Even Catholic countries.”

That doesn’t m make it right!

GOP DOESN’T EVEN TRY to put out a strong argument against abortion. And why don’t they? A little lip service from time to time, but nothing more. Grab some of those electronic billboards and show videos of actual abortions. Plaster everywhere that pic of the unborn baby grabbing the doctor’s finger when he was operating on the mother.

GOP doesn’t really want to win elections. If they lose, they still get the perks, the balls, etc., and they get to be lazy. It works for them. It just doesn’t work for us.

“Ho Family Values”

Call it what you like, but they are a large number, and motivating them to come out and vote against you WILL ENSURE YOUR DEFEAT and ensure the opposite of what you want will be legislated.

The viewpoint is “My quality of life matters more than a fetus”.

It's also about being unwilling to have a baby with birth defects. When a test comes back that the baby may have "issues", an abortion is scheduled.

As an example, we have fewer Down's Syndrome kids being born today, because most get aborted shortly after diagnosis. But the diagnosis may not happen until 2nd trimester or later.

"Wake up. Even in Kansas abortion restrictions lost huge."

Didn't affect the GOP races one iota.

How is it that GOP Sen. Moran won re-election by nearly the exact same margin that the Kansas Amendment lost?

Or that when the Montana Referendumdum was on the ballot, the Montana GOP picked up 3 state senate seats and one in the statehouse? Or that MT GOP Reps. Zinke and Rosendale won easily? In fact, the Independent in Rosendale's race beat the Democrat! Where's the pro-abortion anti-GOP vote in that District? LOFL.

Your assertion doesn't hold water, but your head does...

Let's cut to the chase: why is someone, anyone on Free Republic complaining about Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization smiting the unconstitutional Roe? What are you doing on Free Republic anyway?

"What is our mission? Free Republic is dedicated to reversing the trend of unconstitutional government expansion and is advocating a complete restoration of our constitutional republic.

We at Free Republic are determined to return the Constitution to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the land as the Founders intended.

The preservation and complete restoration of our Constitution and Bill of Rights with special emphasis on the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth amendments and, of course, our right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness -- free of government intervention.

“But why sugarcoat election fraud?”

Montana...Ohio...Kentucky....Kansas....

All Republican-governed states...All voted for abortion protections. Were all those elections rigged??
