Nationalizing the Abortion issue is a terrible mistake for Lindsey Graham and others. As long as they keep it a state-level issue then the Republicans win on this. What you will see happen is for the Purple states to lose the extremists to the Blue states who are litmus test voters and thus states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada will go Republican for the long run.
Now some conservatives will still bury their head in the sands and ignore the math as they try to micromanage medicine in other states than where they live. They need a reality check. What’s going to happen if they pursue this strategy is that eventually the Dems will have all power in DC like they did in 2009/2010 and 2021/2022 and then they will use that power to force the red/purple states to bow down to their tyranny. And besides, from their conservative states they are never going to get western Europe, Japan, China, and the rest of the world to obey their views on Abortion. Unless the USA government funds a standing military of over 1 billion troops overseas they’ll never be able to make this happen.
If you want to live in a Pro-Life State then don’t try to impose your views on Abortion at the federal level. Otherwise, not only will you fail on this but you will also lose the pro-Life status of your own State in the long run.
Lindsay Graham didn’t make a mistake. It was purposeful and back stabbing, and he got what he wanted politically.
