No, abortion won't rescue Dems in November
Washington examiner ^ | 5 May 2022 | Byron York

Posted on 05/05/2022 3:46:05 PM PDT by Rummyfan

NO, ABORTION WON'T RESCUE DEMS IN NOVEMBER. There's a lot of speculation that a Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, if that indeed happens, would be a boost for Democrats in this November's midterm elections. There seems no doubt the decision will motivate some part of the Democratic base. But the question is: Who? How many? And how important would they be to the election results?

Polling shows that abortion is not at the highest level of voter concerns, even after the unprecedented leak of a draft decision that would end Roe. Politico conducted a rush poll after the leak, and it did not find an electorate obsessed with abortion.

The question Politico asked was: "Thinking about your vote, what would you say is the top set of issues on your mind when you cast your vote for federal offices such as U.S. Senate or Congress?" The pollsters gave respondents seven choices: 1) economic issues, such as taxes, wages, and jobs; 2) security issues, such as terrorism, foreign policy, and the border; 3) healthcare issues, such as Obamacare and Medicaid; 4) seniors issues, such as Medicare and Social Security; 5) women's issues, such as birth control, abortion, and equal pay; 6) education issues, such as school standards, class sizes, and school choice; and 7) energy issues, such as carbon emissions, renewables, and the cost of electricity and gasoline.

York is correct.

Abortion won’t save the Dems in November, nor will Ukraine.

With the economy, border and crime, etc as it is, nothing will save the Dems.

This has been consistent for decades. Pro-lifers tend to vote based on this issue. Pro-abort people, not so much. Other issues motivate them more.

That is why the left loved Casey Anthony so much..didnt want her 3 yr old anymore, performed a late late late late late term abortion..heck Im shocked that in my home state Scott Peterson got convicted for murdering their unborn child, since the commies dont consider the unborn to be a living child

“.Dems are gonna get their a@@es handed to them in November”

They’re going to pull something bad. They’re already selling us out to the globalists along with the Rinos.

The Dems want abortion right up to term so they can make money selling body parts. That is big business for them as is their slave trade and drug money flooding the border.

The ole political adage:
People vote with their pocketbooks.

In late October, people will still be facing increasingly high prices at the gas pumps and at the grocery stores. That will strongly influence their voting decisions.

Biden, so far, has no cure for either -- gas nor grocery inflation.

'resident Biden, pick up the phone. Jimmah Carter is calling.

Is 9-14% of the mushy middle of no concern?

Bingo! They do have a medication option for abortions . It is widely available from the comfort of your own home by visual visit and mail order drugs. but that may taint tissues and they wouldn’t be sellable.

Scott Peterson wasn’t likeable which is why the result was different.
