As stated in a couple recent posts, abortion is the pivot point for the coming election: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4174384/posts

GOP has lost everywhere this has had a direct vote, including in states such as Montana, Kentucky, Kansas.

I’m sorry, but banning abortion is a big political loser, that much is very clear at this point.

If murdering offspring is the linchpin issue in a society, it’s a failed society and elections won’t fix anything.

The vote on Tuesday wasn't about abortion specifically. It was up the percentage of the vote to change the Ohio Constitution from 50-60%.

The "No" campaign put an emphasis on saving Ohio's constitution rather than on abortion.

WHO can stomach Sean Hannity is the bigger question.

Just an excuse to rig the election. The deep state will not be denied

The Ohio GOP looks good usually because the Ohio Democrats are a complete sh*tshow and have been for over a decade.

This is still a blood red state but Issue 1 was so poorly communicated and they (the Ohio GOP) never really connected with the voter base on the issue.

We need to be realistic about what’s possible politically & be honest with ourselves about what isn’t. I am avidly pro life & in any political forum, I will vote my conscience. That being said, I won’t pretend that everyone shares my point of view. I’m a realist about the fact that a majority position has to be reached by a population with a million different stances. I will also accept the reality that in certain locales, the best we might be able to get is a ban on second & third trimester abortions. If you don’t accept those sorts of things as a possible political realities- then you are living in a DreamWorks.

I’m thankful Roe was overturned. It was a terrible decision imposed by a politicized court. It was bad policy and bad case law. Nothing in the constitution confers a right T o an abortion. However, I still knew that overturning Roe was not going to benefit us in a political sense. For the most part it will be a wash, but in many cases- it may cause political headaches in certain races. I say take the hit. It’s temporary! The issue is now turned back to the states. While that is a moral success- it also might cause political headaches in low turnout elections & referendums for the next couple of years 😉

I don’t give a damn how much of the public has been indoctrinated by Satan and his minions, it’s unacceptable to murder babies. Period. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION.

Forget your principles. Be political. Sell your soul for power.
