I agree. But republicans better start explaining that the goal in overturning Roe is to return abortion to the states - overturning Roe will not outlaw abortion across the US. alot of folks don't understand that. and I worry that if we have a republican candidate who is honest about that, the pro-lifers will refuse to accept it.
That's why the abortion issue is so tough. Lots of people I know (even though abortion is abhorrent to them), would just as soon drop the issue because it will NEVER BE RESOLVED in our lifetimes. It's sick that it's the case, but I do think it's true.
I agree 100%.
Very good observation. Even when people care about an issue, they often get only a surface understanding of it. Here in Virginia several years ago, we elected a governor who promised to do away with the hated automobile property tax, which at that time was due every year in December.
He was elected in November, and by the end of the year, the state was reporting a lot of people who were being pinged on overdue payments were responding, "Gilmore was elected, so we don't have to pay it", totally missing the fact that the legislature hadn't even MET to consider the proposal yet! (rolling eyes)
Never underestimate the electorate. :-\
