If you don't have principles on the easy things, your principles on the hard ones are meaningless. The fact that the sacrifice of children is a political talking point is proof positive the American Experiment has failed.

This is why Republicans need to concede the issue. It will eventually cost them every election until they do, then the Democrats will just have their way with it anyway.
It’s a losing battle. Roe cost us the red wave in 2022. If Kamala wins in 2024, it’ll be a big reason.
You can’t just tell these people “it’s OK we just put it back to the states.” I agree, it was overblown. But read the room and you’ll realize that when Roe was overturned, all suburban women heard was, “You and everyone you know will give birth to your rapists’ baby once a year and you will like it.”
They’re fricking dumbasses but their votes count and pro-lifers will not win this battle.

False choice is false. It is now established law. Trump is personally pro-life and supports the rights of the States to decide, He opposes any attempt to establish a federal ban on abortion, Harris is personally pro-abortion and wants to federalize and expand abortion rights up to and including advocating for zero limitations on abortion and even denying healthcare to babies who survive abortion. That's the choice, Not your superfluous false choices.

This issue is a lot bigger than the presidential election in 2024.
It already neutered 2022, for instance
If you're against abortion you have to analyze the big picture rationally, or succumb to emotional thinking or fatalism. It's that simple.
Losing elections to Democrats means more abortions will occur. Does anyone disagree with that statement?

Why is it ok for the death penalty to be a state issue, but not abortion?
Why is it ok for a person to be fined up to $5k to upset a sea turtle egg but allow taxpayers to fund abortion?
2 very simple arguments that are never made.

I would wager large sums that the survey question did not call the issue “Abortion”. It probably read “Women’s Reproductive Rights”
Nevermind that the purpose is to NOT reproduce and I’m told men can get pregnant too, which should mean it’s no longer just a women’s rights issue.

All Trump needs to do is say over and over that his abortion policy is exactly what Bill Clinton’s was. It’s a states issue. And leave it at that.

So what’s the winning formula?
SCOTUS made it an issue for individual states to decide. The Democratic Party’s Pravda is not going to tell that story. If they did, it isn’t going to satisfy these soulless self-centered women in question. They want a federal law to commit Infanticide.
You want conservative pro-lifers to say hey, just kidding, forget about it, y’all kill all the babies you want? It’s okay. Personal convenience, careers, profits for the abortion industry are suitable justification for an American holocaust of mass infanticide. Nearly 70,000,000 and counting. People hate big Ag and big Pharma but the abortion abattoirs get a pass? Literally blood money.
You're right on all of this.
I have no idea what is "the winning formula". I wish I did.

You don't go to hell for this, if you hold your personal views. This is something else entirely

You say this about EVERY topic. What you call "emotional thinking" I call moral clarity. I'm actually very unemotional about it-I would date a woman who is pro-abortion for instance. I respect the views of people who are pro-abortion for instance. However, my MORAL CLARITY disallows me from favoring the extermination of babies in the womb. I will happily form a coalition with those who disagree with this to win an election (as we see now) and loathe political litmus tests, but I obviously will not abandon a core principle for political expediency. Understand the difference?

No way that this is a valid poll.
In swing states? Sure it is.
I was also one of the posters that was warning about abortion. It’s a real issue once you get out of red state America. Which is where the overwhelming majority of posters here live. This is a blind spot for many of you. Like Stout, I am also pro-life but it is a losing issue due to the emotions involved and the heavy manipulation the dems use. As our morals have changed so has society.
The economy should be number one but it hasn’t imploded as much as it needs to in order to impact the voters that this poll is focused on. Illegal immigration also isn’t at the forefront for these voters either. Location matters and they’re insulated from this unlike the border states.

Abortion is an irrelevant issue now that R v W has been overturned. Neither congress nor the president can legalize it or ban it at the federal level.

So, be pro choice to win elections so you can cheat the people once elected?
What’s unreasonable about being prolife, but committing to no national bans and letting states regulate it? The problem isn’t the rigidity of the right’s position. The main stream right is MUCH less extreme than the prevailing left on abortion. The issue is the “taking away health rights” rhetoric which works with woman, but is a straight up lie.

I don't see the issue here. There is 30-35% all things whackjob liberal baked into any poll of women of any stripe. Is someone arguing in this thread that if Trump was pro-abortion, he'd be getting any of these 39% of suburban women? frick no he wouldn't, because if it's not abortion it's transitioning kids or the "fact" that Trump is a racist and literal Hitler.
Frankly, I'm pleasantly surprised that abortion is the biggest issue for only 39% of suburban women. The way Dems play it up and Republicans gnash their teeth over it, I would have thought this number would be 70%.

frick em.
I hope they enjoy their abortion rights when their daughters are raped by illegals.
Oh...wait...there are exceptions for that.
Repeal the 19th Amendment

Most pro abortion action is emotion driven. They even have slogans and softball chants to go along with the drivel.

Abortion is no longer a national issue but a state issue. What else can Trump really say other than simply I’m leaving it up to the states and 9 nine folks in black robes.

Its the reasonable thing to say, however the "emotion driven" left wants a constitutional guarantee.
