Why?? Its settled, done. Gone to the states. Why do they need to carry on about it? Don't kill the messenger, but if they battle it out w each other over who's more pro-life it will turn off some independents.

I'm pro-life myself but there are just so many women who won't stand for a politician deciding what they can/cant do. It is what it is.

They shouldn't talk about abortion at all in this debate if they're serious about winning elections

What station?

Abortion shouldn’t be talked about at all unless the useless Fox person does it.

Yes, I agree. Stupid fox moderators could control that by not asking the questions.

And the answer from every candidate if they do needs to be "that is a state issue for the voters of each state to decide, not a national one."

I can think of many talking points for tonight and abortion at this moment (tonight) is not one of them.

I don’t believe that.
I’m not saying I don’t believe you saw it stated on a banner; I just don’t believe that will be the focus.
There’re far too many other critical issues to discuss (Biden, inflation, illegal immigration, crime, childhood indoctrination in public schools, the weaponization of government, etc,)

Governors need to flex about the one thing they control, states rights. Somehow it’s trumps fault when that’s not his job.

Seems intentional to me. It’s how they torpedoed the midterm elections. Why stop now?

It may make sense for the GOP to shift off of the same ole arguments that aren't appealing to literally murderously selfish women who think they have a right to murder another person just because it's attached to their own body due to their own choice.

I posit the GOP should shift to a population control argument. They won't do it b/c they also like population control, I expect. But that's at least a new angle.

Exactly what the donors want. They want us fighting over social issues distracted from DC grift on major issues.

For example, remember when Lindsay Graham said he wanted a federal ban abortion just before the midterms? Yeah, that was a gift to the Democrats and he knew it. The last thing these entrenched GOP politicians what is to win too much. They want to win just enough to stay in office and continue to allow the Democrats to run things and they can enjoy the DC grift with plausible deniability.

Republicans need to avoid the abortion issue like the plague. If asked just say the Supreme Court has ruled it is a states rights issue and move on. There are tons of issues far more important than abortion. It's not a hill worth dieing on.
