Why I don't believe the "abortion" voter will determine the election

A lot has been said about the abortion vote.

I doubt this effect because it somehow is only being reflected in the "Blue Wall" states apparently.

Ohio, Georgia, Kansas, etc. are more Trump than ever. Why would this voter block make a big impact in Western PA, for example, but Trump dominates Ohio (who has 3 major metros and had an abortion referendum that showed this "red" state has a significant "pro abortion" vote).

Also..

I think this election will be about men, not women. I'm hearing that older women are not supporting Trump to the same level as before. The flip side of that is the I think older men more than make up for this. A good sample is the union polls, etc.

You say this but I just saw a video of some chick saying trump, jD Vance and the heritage foundation want a federal abortion ban.

They actually believe this.

Abortion usually polled less than 10% as far as top voter issues. They are polling women and men. If it was a high issue among the majority of women, it would rank up there with the economy as a top issue.

Dems think they found some sort of cheat code in 2022 to win all elections.

I think some women are dumb enough to believe the propaganda or just want to make the right pay for Dobbs. But, for the most part, this is resolved at the state level and not the issue that it was in 2022.

Mind boggling considering the SCOTUS ruling to kick all of it back to the states. More evidence though that these people vote on pure unhinged irrational emotionalism, never sound reasoning.

Agreed. The abortion issue should have zero influence on federal elections. The federal government no longer has anything to do with abortion, as the Constitution always dictated.

It hasn't been discussed as much lately leading up to today. It wasn't a major topic on any of the podcast Trump/Vance participated in.

I think (hope) that they are underestimating the number of women who DGAF about the abortion issue.

The only women who care about abortion are either too fat to get pregnant or lesbians

Because women are known to be so stable and grounded

I don't think we are going to have this huge wave of women voting that weren't already going to vote, but I wouldn't totally discount them either.

They do. My sister in law pulled my wife to the side at a family function, and told her "You really need to be concerned about your reproductive rights, and the rights of your daughter."

I heard it and started laughing.

She got mad and yelled at me.

I laughed harder.

Her husband looked at me, and I laughed at him too.
