Democrats are pumping an unprecedented amount of money into advertising related to abortion rights, underscoring how central the message is to the party in the final weeks before the November midterm elections.
With the most intense period of campaigning only just beginning, Democrats have already invested more than an estimated $124 million this year in television advertising referencing abortion. That’s more than twice as much money as the Democrats’ next top issue this year, “character,” and almost 20 times more than Democrats spent on abortion-related ads in the 2018 midterms.
The estimated spending figures, based on an Associated Press analysis of data provided by the nonpartisan research firm AdImpact, reveal the extent to which Democrats are betting their majorities in Congress and key governorships on one issue. That’s even as large majorities of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction and that the economy is in poor condition.
The advertising numbers also reveal just how sharply Republicans have shied away from abortion in their paid advertising in the weeks since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a decades-long goal of the GOP. (The AdImpact data captures every single time a campaign ad is aired on TV, and estimates a cost associated with those airings.)
Since the high court’s decision in June to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion, roughly 1 in 3 television advertising dollars spent by Democrats and their allies have focused on abortion. Much of the spending is designed to attack Republicans on the ballot this fall who have long opposed abortion rights and are currently engaged in a state-by-state push to restrict abortion rights or outlaw the practice altogether.

And the Socialist Democrats will be completely amazed when killing babies on demand, as a campaign platform, FAILS.
It's the Economy, Stupid! ;)
Fox showed a poll this morning of things Americans are most concerned about......abortion was around 6th or 7th.
all they’re running on abortion, climate change and January 6.....
yet millions of morons will still vote for them...
Right. They already have the pro abortion vote locked in, have had them for years. Dobbs won’t mean anything very negative to the rest of the electorate, who are either prolife or indifferent. Fact is, abortion is not a first line litmus test for the majority of Americans.
At three I went to public school
At twelve I first got laid
And now I am transitioning. I hope...I’m pretty.
Dems, you all are nuts......abortion ain’t your ticket to success. After the clown performance of the Bidens in England, getting stuck in morning traffic because of their using the Beast Limo...they were late to the honor ceremony for Elizabeth II. Then they rushed out of town...like the butt wipes the both are!!! Then Add the Sixty Minutes TV clown theater fiasco...Biden on the loose!!!
And....up comes the United Speech...which no one in their right mind will listen or pay heed to!!! It willbe the joke of the week!!! End of story...Case closed!!!
The foundation of the Democratic Party are the corpses of aborted babies. Democrats stand and run on that foundation.
Demorat party has become a Death Cult in full view of the audience - they know no shame.
Hinging?
HANGING!.....................
Abortion ads might generate a few votes, but will hardly be worth the amount of money spent.
The three issues for this election are:
illegal aliens
inflation
crime
Abortion is a minor issue relative to the above three.
But we care about eliminating the children so they don’t have to endure this economy. It’s humane./s
Here in Florida, Val Demmings who running against Rubio has been harping about Abortion in her commercials.
Personally, I haven’t seen any Charlie Crist commercials.
Judges 18:7
So the five men departed and went to Laish. They saw the people who were there, how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians, and they had no ties with anyone.
“Abortion ads might generate a few votes” but lots of cash.
My take on an appropriate Republican ad—
If you want more illegal aliens, vote DEMOCRAT
If you want more inflation, vote DEMOCRAT
If you want more crime, vote DEMOCRAT
so women are the deciders.
Abortions in the long run or hamburger today?
It’s a smart move on their part, since this topic generates religious passion among their base and energizes them.
“””Personally, I haven’t seen any Charlie Crist commercials”””
I have seen some Crist ads, but I do not recall if he has mentioned abortion.
Thanks for adding that. I was going to look for some figures. I knew abortion wasn’t on anyone’s radar, Conservative or Socialist. :)
