Abortion Is NOT a Top Issue for U.S. Voters. Dems Are Distracting You

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.

Morning Consult data on U.S. voters’ top issues as of December 2023. Based on responses, Morning Consult ranked the issues in order of great importance to Americans when deciding whom to vote for. With the percentage that ranked each issue important, the top 12 were: the economy (73%), national security (67%), health care (65%), crime (63%), jobs (62%), taxes (61%), Social Security and Medicare (61%), immigration (59%), voting rights (58%), gun policy (55%), education (54%),  and abortion (49%). That’s right, abortion didn’t show up until the twelfth slot.

Some people will no doubt quickly point out that nearly half of Americans did say abortion was important; but note there was no “pro-life” option. Thus all the Americans like me who consider pro-life opposition to abortion a major issue would also have chosen abortion. Furthermore, there is data from another source to support the argument that, if pressed, most American voters will rate abortion much lower on the scale of importance than Democrats would wish.

Statista lists the percentage of American voters that put each of the following as their top issues: “inflation/prices” (20%), “healthcare” (14%), “immigration” (12%), “jobs & the economy” (11%), “climate & the environment” (8%), and “national security” (6%). Only 5% said abortion. If you combine “inflation/prices” and “jobs & the economy,” nearly a third of Americans — 31% — put economic problems as their top concern, versus 5% for abortion. My point is the same: There are a whole host of issues that most Americans consider more urgent than abortion.

They think it is a winning issue for them

They are wrong.

It certainly may be in some local places. As it is for the pro life side in some
local places.

However there is overall a pro life increment “search pro life increment for details” and no one should be apologizing for opposing the murder of children whether in the womb or outside of it.

I’ve been trying to research any public polling done in 1973 over the acceptability of abortion at the time. I always come up short handed on the internet. It might just take some digging into some newspapers.

[dforest]

Of course it isn’t. The economy is awful and people are going broke. Can’t afford rents and housing, food, gasoline. Tired of paying for foreign wars. Sick of woke.

People want their freedom back and in spite of everything, they know things were a whole lot better when Trump was POTUS.

We do not want a global world. We hate them. We hate Congress and we hate most of the scumbags in DC.

After 50+ years democrats need a new tune their base is hitting menopause now.

It’s not about the policy positions on abortion.

It is about minutes talking about it. It is minutes taken away from Inflation, Build the Wall and Drain the Swamp.

Trump’s position is intended to stop talking about it. That’s all he need do, and if he agrees to any debates, do so only restricting the questions asked, and specify the moderators.

If that cuts out the League of Women Voters, the Swamp monster that runs debates, then cut them out. That’s inside baseball stuff no one will care about.

The correct position on abortion is talking about illegal aliens. That is the only conversation permitted on the matter.

I believe the abortion issue is their “scapegoat” and cover for cheating via ballot harvesting. They need an “excuse” how they’re still winning amongst the worst economy in my lifetime.

"The left’s challenge with non-white voters is much deeper than it first appears," Adam Carlson, a data analyst with the Brunswick Group, explained. "A less racially divided America is an America where people vote more based on their beliefs than their identity. This is a big challenge for Dems."

8 months out from the election, polls are still suggesting 2024 will be the largest racial realignment since the Civil Rights Act was passed⁰
Here are the aggregated crosstabs from non-partisan GE polls from reputable pollsters fielded in Feb 2024

First up is Biden vs Trump

I’m not sure I believe this—we saw what happened in ‘22.

[Jeff Vader]

I agree, this is cover for the cheat, I think it also was in 2022

[Mercat]

Dems are also distracting you with claims that Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and what’s her name are all hating on each other.

[dforest]

Totally agree. Yet we fall for it every time.

[dforest]

Agree

“It’s not about the policy positions on abortion. It is about minutes talking about it. It is minutes taken away from Inflation, Build the Wall and Drain the Swamp.” Charlie Kirk made this very point on a recent podcast. The Dems desperately want us to be fussing over abortion — pro, con, 12 weeks, heartbeat, moment of birth, etc. — while the the U.S. circles the bowl and the world burns down around us thanks to leftist policies.

[circlecity]

Or course they are manufacturing it as an issue. That way when they again commit massive voting fraud they can claim it was just a large pushback on the abortion issue.

[reasonisfaith]

Every abortion “win” in any election was due to fraud.

[SMARTY]

Abortion is their favorite political football

[hinckley buzzard]

In 1973 abortion was generally regarded as disreputable at best. Roe was slipped in during an anomalous period of time when the bulk of the populace was preoccupied elsewhere. idk any poll results but I recall how it was,

[Kazan]

All that happened was that the court rightly and laudably upheld an Arizona law that is over 150 years old and should be be reinstated now that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized there is no federal, constitutional right to abortion. Abortion giant Planned Parenthood challenged the law, and the court did not cave, upholding the Arizona law instead (now if only the law would actually be enforced…which it won’t).

So, in other words, the abortion ban won't be enforced, won't save the lives of the unborn and can only hurt Trump and Kari Lake in 2024.

Sounds like the perfect scenario for establishment Republicans looking to undermine the MAGA movement.

How stupid do some have to be not to grasp that this yet another attempt at undermining free and fair elections?
