re: Republicans were winning then shot themselves in the foot with all the abortion crap.

It is unreasonable to kill your unborn child because it would be an inconvenience to your lifestyle


This is why 99.9999999% of abortions are conducted, and it is sickening. Abortion is an easy way for adults to dodge responsibility.

AND, it's why the whole argument is so damned annoying to me.

It's another discussion where liberals simply REFUSE to at least be honest about what's happening.

Every time they talk about the subject, they simply refuse to acknowledge the reality of why 90% of why almost all women get abortions. They also try to act as if there's no such thing as a good parent with low income. Which probably SHOULD offend a bunch of lefty voters, but somehow doesn't.

I will say this. I don't really think there's a lot of people who consider abortion to be a key voting issue running around contemplating voting Republican. It's not like the Texas law made a bunch of them go, "shite. That's right. Republicans don't like abortion!!!"

These days it's more than just a political identification. In many areas any hint that you're not fully on board with abortion will eliminate you from the dating pool, for instance. The problem is the vast majority of these areas are where the good jobs are. Why Trumpism became a beacon for the lower-middle class and the educated class moved in large numbers to the DEMs from 2016-2020.

Only religious people think killing babies is wrong?

Babies, are innocent. Those who are willing to kill their own, not so much.

The DC swamp has pulled off another coup. American women were finally starting to distance themselves from this nightmare administration and what happens?

Hmmm, lets abandon those gains and piss those women off because NOW is obviously the time to go after abortion. Dem Prez, Dem Senate, Dem house. John Roberts Court. Dem controlled media.

Great plan guys. Really. Just absolutely stellar work.

The Swamp continues to play the right like a fiddle.

Did he really tiptoe around it though? Let's be honest. He did say he was pro-life which some people felt was just lip service. But normally the media hounds Republican candidates at every turn on the subject. But they never really pressed Donald Trump on it at all.

---

That's b/c the crazy religious right gave Trump a pass for some reason. It's the religious right who gets emboldened and then makes it an issue (kind of like what TX is doing now, but during a Presidential election).

The press was focused on calling Trump a fake Christian (which he clearly was) and feeling superior to the people they perceived as idiots on the religious right for falling for it. They assumed Trump was a joke but clearly won't anymore.

Glad to see your ethics come so cheap.

What happens to this argument if this emboldens the left to gain more power and they make the situation worse than it was in July 2021?

Do you consider that "ethical" to create a path for more abortions?

Do you abstain from driving because you might be part of a multi-car pile-up on the interstate?

If you support killing babies, that's on your heart. I've never suggested it should be the banner a Presidential campaign falls behind, but I have ZERO problem with what Texas did. Abortion is wrong. It's no better than segregation and racism. (which the left is having political fun with also)

The republicans have lost elections being perceived as pure DC leeches who believe in nothing but crony capitalism and pork. They could stand to believe in something righteous for a change.

that doesn't make sense. When the Press hounds a republican candidate on the subject of abortion it isn't because they are trying to speak to the crazy religious right it's because they're trying to scare the middle. Yet they never tried to scare the middle during that campaign. I submit that's because they understood that the Democrat position also scared the middle

We dont care if its a losing battle. Its murder any way you look at it. And its not just us religious folks that are against it. Go do some damn research before you spew your garbage to everyone.

The crazy religious right puts the issue in front of the nation for the press to tee off. Pre-Trump, they demanded complete and utter perfection in pro-life stances or they would sit out of elections. They'd box in candidates into terrible positions (especially with the rape/incest examples). Remember all the dolt GOP candidates who were crushed because of the crazy arguments they had to come up with to be perfectly pro-life and try to sound reasonable?

Trump wasn't asked to have that sort of purity by the religious right, so he was never put in that sort of ideological grinder. He could just say generalities like that he was "pro life" and never had to explain to the press the limits of just how "pro life" he was, because he never had to originally define it for the religious right.
