Democrats vow to make abortion issue No. 1 on campaign trail

LEESBURG, Va. — House Democratic leaders are vowing to make abortion their top issue on the campaign trail this year, betting that Republican efforts to roll back women’s reproductive rights will drive voters to the polls to the distinct advantage of President Biden and his allies in Congress.

Gathered in Northern Virginia for their annual strategy retreat, the Democrats are hearing from experts — and honing their message — on a host of issues, from climate change and infrastructure to labor unions and the economy.

But rising above them all, party leaders said, will be the fight to protect abortion rights and draw the contrast with Republican lawmakers — both state and federal — who are moving to ban or otherwise restrict abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

It’s a winning issue for the DEMs. With independent and suburban women.

I’ve reached the point where I just say, if Democrats want to abort, fine by me, makes for fewer rotten parents.

Like Mark Levin says: STop talking abiout abortion you DEMS.......SHOW US WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

SHOW US A VIDEO OF A PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION.

The peft talks about abortion but never shiw us a video of the procedures they esp[.

WHY IS THAT?

America would turn against these Leftists if the People knew what it looked like.

Can’t blame them, it resonates with their base who highly value their ability to kill babies in the womb after 15 weeks.

Here in CT there is a clear and present danger of abortions being banned....

After the Unicorn herd invades the state.

It’s a good plan. Suburban women enthusiastically turn out to vote for “reproductive health”, aka murder.

Got nothing else to run on other than killing those who cannot defend themselves...yet wonder why the number of democrats keep dwindling as they move farther left.

Which is why suffrage was such a horrible idea.

The only reason the 19th Amendment passed at all was that it gave married men a double vote, because women at that time were largely in lock step with their husbands, or else.

And if the Republicans had any sense at all, they would make the border and illegal invasion the main issue.

It astounds me how single-issue minded these female abortionists are. We have gangs rampaging our cities, the threat of terror attacks by the 3rd world and their sympathizers, sky-high inflation, the destruction of the middle class, dysfunctional and corrupt government, and this is what they care about. The whole country could be in flames, but as long as they can kill their unborn children (their get-out-of-jail free card) and get their soy latte afterwards, it’s all good.

Make draining the Swamp the #1 issue.

It will change more minds not already made up.

I am an independent, suburban woman. So that’s not it. I completed college, so that’s not it.
I have a God given inherent love for my children, even in the womb.
There is a Satanic temple to practice ritual abortions in more than one state.
This is purely that.

Of course they will. And they can count on sanctimonious absolutists to make their job a breeze.
