Judgment Day: Democrats bank on abortion to carry Biden as GOP adjusts strategy
Washington Examiner ^ | Mabinty Quarshie

Posted on 05/22/2024 5:08:25 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Election Day is less than six months away, and voters have a familiar choice of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Unless it’s The Godfather Part II, sequels rarely live up to the hype. Although it may look like a 2020 repeat, the stars are competing in a different game and under different rules. This series, ‘Judgment Day: Why 2024 rematch won’t be any old sequel, investigates the key differences from 2020. Part Three is on the first presidential election post Roe v. Wade reversal.

Less than six months until the November election, Democrats are counting on women, infuriated over the Supreme Court striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade case, to save them once again.

Lingering anger over the loss of abortion rights two years ago has led to Democratic victories in multiple elections despite a host of issues threatening the party, including rising grocery and gas prices, protests against the Israel-Hamas war, and growing disapproval of President Joe Biden.

After stinging defeats in the 2022 midterm elections and numerous state-level ballot measures, Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, have sought to find a middle ground on abortion by allowing states to decide restrictions without federal interference.

They are banking on women being willing to starve to death so they can kill their babies.

It will be the vote of women who likely won’t get pregnant through male-female intercourse, or the women who are long past the point of being able to get pregnant.

Over the last few days, every Dem congressman or pundit on Twitter has been posting nothing but “you can’t kill your baby” scare stories, for people who are scared they won’t be allowed to kill babies.

It’s sad to realize that there are people who would rather see the country continue to go down the tubes rather than be responsible enough in their personal behavior to avoid conception. I’m including men here too.

Every state with referendum in their laws has or is this election cycle putting this issue on the ballot. In what state so far has a referendum not passed in favor of right to choose? Conservative Kansas passed theirs with a wide enough margin it.couldn’t have only been dems voting for it. Truth is a LOT of fiscal conservatives are prochoice. The religious right refuses to recognize that a good number of people who are fiscal pronatinalists and closed borders are also not interested in the least with the moral rightwing causes. It’s going to be a rude awakening when GenZ, GenX and GenY which out number everyone else two to one vote pro-choice in mass.

Many conservatives are borderline pro-life.

But we have other things to worry about. If we have to give abortion rights to appease married women in the suburbs, so be it.

The way I look at it, anybody that was planning to vote based solely on abortion rights were ALWAYS going to vote democrat anyway. I suppose democrats might get a few that would have otherwise stayed home, but they aren’t actually taking any votes that would otherwise have gone Republican.

Many Republicans in Kansas and Ohio voted in favor of abortion rights in 2022. And they’re reliably red states.

None of the fiscal conservatives I know are second or.third term all are 20-15 weeks and under but none are 6-8 weeks and under or out right bans like Texas has. I’m going to vote at the national level for the right but at the state level since we don’t have referendum we have to punish the gop in Texas this cycle for their overstep on this issue. Once the incumbents are out we can put younger more moderates in their place. I’ll be a split ticket this cycle and so will all of the other GenXers I know. All of the GenZ and Y were going to vote blue anyways it’s the moderates that are switching and since moderates are 20% of the voting block both sides need us.

This is the stupidest argument as I have explained to many liberal friends.

Roe v Wade was at its core about the “state” (not the federal government) having greater interest in the health and life of the unborn as the pregnancy progressed. It was about how during the first trimester the woman had the most interest in the unborn child and how as the pregnancy progressed the state had more and more interest in the unborn life of a future citizen.

The illusion that somehow the President can protect or restore abortion “priviledges” is absurd. It must be Congress that would pass federal abortion legislation and a Supreme Court that would uphold this as some right granted the federal government by the Constitution. Biden can't do anything by himself, so voting for him does absolutely nothing.

On the other hand at the state level, it requires a state legislature to pass pro-abortion laws and a state supreme court to indicate that such laws are consistent with the State Constitution. Voting for Biden does absolutely nothing to “give women” control over pregnancy termination.

In short this is not a Presidential election issue. It is propaganda over a wedge issue.

He can pack the SCOTUS to "restore Roe".
