Shut out the Democrat noise and stop believing the mainstream media narrative. Multiple polls and data sets have emphasized that abortion is not one of the top issues for most voters in the upcoming 2024 election, not by a long shot. Democrats are distracting from other issues by going hysterical about abortion.
The Democrats have so successfully screeched their heads off about abortion that even many Republicans now think that a significant percentage of voters will have abortion at the forefront of their minds in November. This is simply not true. Not only is there absolutely no moral justification for supporting baby murder in return for votes, but it isn’t even necessary. Over two-thirds of Americans believe in restricting abortion and the majority of Americans, including Democrats and independents, do not see abortion as one of their top five issues. Most Americans are primarily concerned about the economy, national security, immigration, and healthcare. Instead of compromising on baby murder, Republicans — including Trump — need to refocus on these key issues.
According to a December Marist poll, 73% of Americans believe in either banning or restricting abortion, while only 25% of Americans believe in abortion on demand. Even 54% of Democrats, a majority, support banning or restricting abortion! Most prefer restricting to banning it, but the fact remains that the majority of Americans of various political viewpoints are pro-life.

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 peopleâÂÂs 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 âÂÂonly 30 percentâ 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 âÂÂred wave.â Republicans need to come up with an effective strategy for neutralizing the abortion issue in 2024.
YOUR $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the issue
The economy and illegal immigration. Or illegal immigration and the economy. These are the issues, with foreign relations / the international situation a distant third.
Whatever dishonest rhetorical flourishes they may deploy, they are 100% sincere about wanting to kill babies.
