a simple yes or no would have sufficed. even Trump says this abortion ruling will hurt GOP electorally
excerpts:
Faced with the same question inside the building, a few swing-seat Republicans rushed into the House chamber rather than answer.
Democrats say that silence, or occasional deflection, is a telling sign that Republicans know abortion rights remain broadly popular with much of the electorate — and that the GOP will soon face the wrath of suburban and purple-district voters. Some Republicans, too, acknowledge that abortion rights polling generally favors the left. But they say voters are harder to pin down when it comes to “late-term” abortion or “heartbeat” bans — terms the GOP leveraged to define the debate in recent years as the religious right gained influence.
