Why Abortion Has Become a Centerpiece of Democratic TV Ads in 2022
The New York Times ^ | Aug. 14, 2022, | Shane Goldmacher and Katie Glueck

All across America, Democrats are using abortion as a powerful cudgel in their 2022 television campaigns, paying for an onslaught of ads in House, Senate and governor’s races that show how swiftly abortion politics have shifted since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June.

With national protections for abortion rights suddenly gone and bans going into effect in many states, senior White House officials and top Democratic strategists believe the issue has radically reshaped the 2022 landscape in their favor. They say it has not only reawakened the party’s progressive base, but also provided a wedge issue that could wrest away independent voters and even some Republican women who believe abortion opponents have overreached.

NY Times front page featured news story, but I have tagged it as an "editorial" because it is one. I have scrolled past the fluffy opening paragraphs and posted where it starts being significant, but I recommend reading the whole thing.

I do not think they are lying about how the Democrats are spending on media. Republicans take note.

Abortion is part of the Demonicrats’ ideological triumvirate of lies, murder, and treason.

So, it boils down to money

Among thoughtless American voters what is most important?

Loss of groceries and gasoline to Biden/Democrat inflation or birth control via abortion?

We live in Kansas where the bid to change the constitution failed miserably so could be a big issue.

One would hope that as the vax deaths mount, and the deaths due to loss of jobs and drug overdose, that the libs would see that the Left and the Progs they destroy things for are entirely mass death oriented, and that abortion has been expanded to post birth without any limits.

But that assumes they have any brains left. Is that too much to expect?

My fear is that the Democrats intend to cheat and steal enough key races in the Fall that they can retain control of the House and Senate.

They cannot win based on Joe’s popularity or the booming economy. They would have to cheat. BUT, if they “win” and people get suspicious — because the economy isn’t booming, and because Joe isn’t popular — then it’s awkward.

However, strictly as a public relations “cover” and excuse, they can push the [false] concept that “everyone” in the country is really upset about that abortion ruling. Oh, sure, you know, “everyone” is going to rush to the polls to teach those bad Republicans a lesson.

Also, if Joe were to tragically die near election day, that would be another “reason” for the enormous and unprecedented surge in ballots filled out for Democrats.

In short: abortion isn’t a true issue but it is a convenient flag to wave that would justify why the Democrats do miraculously well in the Fall.

How about, because it’s the only issue that works for them... They do not have another issue.I wish I’d never heard of the abortion issue, all I’ve ever seen it do is get good candidates for public offices defeated by vermin.

They say it has not only reawakened the party’s progressive [murderous] base

Fixed.

Murder, killing and death are all words that describe the democrat party’s platform.

I don’t see them getting much traction. This is not the 1950s. Inexpensive birth control is widely available. Women just need to be more responsible about using it to prevent pregnancy.

Men realize they may not have the pleasure of casual, unprotected sex without responsibility if abortions are not easily obtained.

Democrats will never forgive/forget having their (black) slaves taken away from them (by the GOP). In revenge, they want to kill as many blacks as possible — which is why PlannedParenthood was founded to preferentially kill blacks — go look at the statements of one of its founders.

The Demo party is and will always be the party of slavery — and it they have to enslave all colors, fine by them.
