If state maps are any indication, I found one indicating the degrees of bans against abortion by state at the time Roe was decided.

Pretty much the entire nation banned it in most cases, except for NY, CA and WA. There was not talk of "trimesters" at all at the time.

God is dead. I am God.

Abortion, pfff, who cares about killing your own flesh and blood.

“I’m not sure I believe this”

The author’s conclusion is deceiving because the percentages add to more than 100. Yes, abortion is 12th in his list, but 49% think abortion is important.

I very much disagree with the conclusion that abortion will not be a key issue in the election, and I have a background in survey design and statistical analysis. One problem with the surveys is that they do not usually measure the intensity of people’s motivation. Heading into the 2022 mid-terms, surveys showed that the most important issues to voters were jobs and the economy (identified by more than then 50 percent) while “only 30 percent” of voters cited abortion. Hannity and other conservatives mistakenly interpreted these results to mean that abortion would not be a key issue. However, these 30 percent (probably representing mostly pro-abortion females) felt very strongly about the issue and no doubt turned out in droves. These highly motivated voters often made the difference in a number of close races and deprived Republicans of the expected “red wave.” Republicans need to come up with an effective strategy for neutralizing the abortion issue in 2024.

Wrong

it's the only issue.

It's the genesis,the nucleus, and the entirety of the Democrat strategy for turn out.

The economy and illegal immigration. Or illegal immigration and the economy. These are the issues, with foreign relations / the international situation a distant third.

It's not just "distraction". This is one issue Democrats really care about.

Whatever dishonest rhetorical flourishes they may deploy, they are 100% sincere about wanting to kill babies.
