RNC chair: Republicans can’t ignore abortion on campaign trail
The Hill ^ | 04/30/2023 | Stephen Neukam

Posted on 04/30/2023 7:11:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said on Sunday that Republicans need to address questions about abortion policy “head on” on the campaign trail, adding that the issue played a big role in the party’s disappointing 2022 midterm performance.

“Abortion was a big issue in key states like Michigan and Pennsylvania,” McDaniel said on “Fox News Sunday.” “The guidance we’re going to give to our candidates is, you have to address this head on… many of our candidates across the board refused to talk about it.”

Ok address it. But what advice is the RNC giving as addressing it? That, I’d love to know.

Would giving out the addresses of abortion mill doctors be addressing it?

Certainly Kermit Gosnell is worth a mention.

I would just explain the procedure in detail. That’s how I would address it.

I’m in the blue part of Ohio. I go by what I see around me. Women vote and many of those women are from the “you can have it all”, “you’re empowered”, etc. indoctrination mindset. Included in that is the obnoxious “my body, my choice”. The moderate women around me strongly support abortion.

It’s mind boggling.

When Trump described a late-term abortion during the debates against Hillary and stated “she may be ok with it, but I’m not ok with it” did it hurt him? No.

Its a given that 20% of the Democrat’s core constituency are women who have had abortions, want to have abortions and men who for a variety of crass reasons support them. None of of them under any circumstances will vote Republican. The trick for those Republicans is to get out their pro life decent base and do what is necessary to win.

Miss, I simply can’t approve of baby murder, which is what abortion is.

I also can’t stop women from taking pills to murder their babies.

I also can’t stop women from say going to Canada to have their babies murdered.

However, be aware that come 65 you may not get Social Security for several years due to a lack of a child who paid into the system. Also be aware that women who support abortion will be very much a minority at that time as we are getting millions of migrants from Catholic and Muslim countries.

Yes, by all means address the SIN of abortion! Address how it, and the whole lgbtq movement, is likely the reason God has turned his face from this nation and caused us to go hurtling into defiant behavior and immoral degeneracy. Let’s address how people are shaking their fists in God’s face and declaring that he will not tell them how they must live, and how it has removed his blessings on this nation as a result!

Is that what you mean ronna?

Correct. There is a way to frame it.
1) It is as of now a state issue.
2) Reasonable limits (say, 15 weeks) are generally popular.
3) Outright bans with no exceptions are tremendously unpopular.

The Federal question of abortion has been settled, period. It’s now a matter of individual states’ decision. Any GOP fool pandering we have to answer the “national question” is just another meddling, quisling RINO looking to divert attention away from this country about the DISASTER that is Biden, et al.

“my body...”

that contains a second human being that also has somebody else’s DNA, an independent heart, an independent brain, two hands of its own and two feet of its own.

Anybody who believes we Deal with the Devil on Abortion is gravely mistaken.

It is precisely our nation's embrace of the culture of death and turning our back on God that has lead us to this point.

Go watch the movie "Nefarious" for a great perspective.

Not so. The Congress has the power to raise armies, and associated necessary & proper powers.

mehr Kinder -> mehr Soldaten

There is also a need to more taxpayers to repay the $32 trillion borrowed.

her uncle’s company sells the bodies of the aborted
for parts and adrenochrome.

no wonder she RUNS the hated, backstabbing, adrenochrome-
loving, adrenochrome-protecting, CCP-protecting GOP.
