Republicans Can't Quit Abortion

[skews13]

They won't get it because they can't.

Issue 1 failed because most people want compromise.
But the GOP has made it clear they will never compromise.
They used a small majority to gerrymander themselves a veto proof majority and force their zero tolerance dictatorship down the people's throats.
When the threat of the People actually making the decision at the ballot box emerged they tried the Issue 1 stunt and it blew up in their faces.


This is the bell that will not be unrung and marks the clear beginning of the end of the GOP as a political power in this country.

Politics is compromise. In general, when no one's happy, everyone is better off.
But the GOP is unable to compromise because compromise is for losers.
Primary losers.
They are so afraid of their base that performative nothingburgers is their only political strength.

So they will continue to shrink in importance, desperately clinging to their shrinking power centers until they become the 21st Century Whigs.

When the GOP disappears, we will all be better off.

Yep. Everything the Founders were against. The tyranny of the minority.

Mmm .. I never realized how much Democrats love killing babies, turns out it’s quite a maniacal obsession especially given the responsible options of birth control.

The abortion issue should be between the pregnant woman and her conscience.

So, you're saying that it is wrong?

 

[Lumpy 1]

It’s a tragedy .. hopefully the rapist got life … and there should be exceptions..

The political press may have moved on, but Republicans still can’t quit their obsession with “message” and its role in one abortion-related electoral defeat after another.

Laura Clawson already ran through a lot of the initial Ohio Republican excuses: abortion backers didn’t have enough time to get their message out (they picked the date of the initiative); they were outspent by out-of-state money (they were funded by an Illinois billionaire, and you don’t lose by 14 points because of money); and best of all, not enough Republicans supported it. (You’d think they get the hint that maybe if even Republicans don’t support something, then it is out of the mainstream!)

Excuses aside, the bigger question is what Republicans are going to do about it. And quite clearly, the answer is “more of the same.”

“We think there’s a lot of people that, when we start telling the story of how extreme the abortion referendum is, will be jumping over to our side,” said Aaron Baer to Politico. He is the president of the Center for Christian Virtue and a board member of the coalition working to defeat Ohio’s November abortion-rights initiative. “We actually saw a lot of encouraging signs.”

See? It always comes down to messaging with them. If only “the story” is told properly, then a new reality could be created! Why, once they hear the same message they’ve already been hearing for time immemorial, 14% of voters will jump over to their side!

Republicans can’t quit abortion

Exactly a year ago, we were treated to a white, male-dominated national political press that just couldn’t grasp how galvanizing abortion had become to liberal voters in the wake of the Dobbs ...

Sorry Karl. There's a new set of actors dictating the messaging now.

If Republicans can't quit the abortion message, then why did you not quit the abortion message by starting an abortion thread?? Have you been on the cheeky Vimto!!

It's their Little Big Horn.

The OP has a clear obsession with killing babies in the womb. And probably celebrates abortion even at 9-months. A true ghoul.

You keep it term !

You keep it for life !

There is a difference between without cause and with cause abortion , where with cause abortion occurs due to developmental anomalies that are most often determined through ultrasound between 13 and 20 weeks of pregnancy .

That without cause abortion occurs , when with cause abortion is valid , is the biggest LIE constructed and perpetrated by the sanctimonious , sacrosanct , psychopath , wanna be dictators , who are blubbering because INDIVIDUALS are optioning not to carry 90% of trisomy fetuses to term .

The reason why abortion is still a big question, is because some people don't want to accept the consequences of heterosexual sex and be inconvenienced by another human life.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

They will lose if they give it up.

The lose because they have not.

 

[Dayton3]

The abortion issue should be between the pregnant woman and her conscience.

Why? and don't say "it's her body".

This is my country.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

But it is not your body, Dayton 3, and it is her country, too. Just hush.

I think the GOP is hoping that women have forgotten about how they overturned Roe V Wade and how if they control the government, they will pass laws making abortion a federal crime of murder.

Don't forget the 2022 midterms were the first election after the Supremes did it and boy did Republicans pay. This will be the first general election and boy are Republicans/Trump going to pay.

Notice no Republicans want to discuss this subject? And notice the "corporate" media isn't bringing it up like they should? Don't worry. It is on the 2024 ballots. I love it!!! Eat your babies!!!

This is my country.

This is her body and her country too.

This exercise of the democratic process brought to you -- as intended -- by the USSC in Dobbs

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Yep. Everything the Founders were against. The tyranny of the minority.

That's why the founders didn't give us a democracy.

Individual human rights superceded the will of the tyrannical majority

 

[Burgermeister]

It's true. Loser position, politically. The RINOs know, and they will scream about it whenever they feel like they need to lose.
