Since SCOTUS made abortion a state issue and not a federal issue, msm has brainwashed many into believing abortion is illegal in this country and it’s the republicans fault. This has hurt republicans and there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it because even slightly retracting their stance on abortion would be the death of the party. Since the left control the media, there’s no way to educate more than a few that abortion isn’t illegal on the federal level as the msm has led people to believe.
Give women some credit here. We are very well aware that with some serious and some not-very realistic restrictions abortion is still "legal" in most states even if for a large number of women impossible to get without having to leave their home state. However, we are equally aware that the goal of the Republican Party is to outlaw it entirely. That has been stated loudly and clearly by so many of their candidates. Of course, many softened that claim when they realized they were losing votes. Some Republicans want to go even further and outlaw some if not all forms of medical contraception. In a Republican super majority state like Ohio, they very well might succeed. We have a legislator who has said pregnancy due to rape/incest was an "opportunity" We have another who believes that an embryo of ectopic pregnancy can be reimplanted in the uterus. We now have a US Senator who believes that women should stay in abusive relationships
We are also aware that at least 4 Justices of the Supreme Court LIED when they said Roe has settled the law and they respected precedents and then all 4 voted to overturn it At least 1, Thomas, wants to overturn the decision that allowed for contraception for all women. Why should we beleive anything they claim?
Women, have very good reasons not to trust Republicans. They were all very eager to have special sessions to get their abortion restrictions in place while addressing NONE of the reasons women have them in the first place. When the party of Pro-Birth actually becomes a part of Pro-life, maybe they will see women come back...but don't count on it any time soon.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
