During the decades since the USSC's decision permitting abortion, the GOP has been dangling-the-carrot of overturning Roe v Wade in front of their anti-choice base, always promising, "This will be the year."
It has been the issue Republican candidates promised to "fix" that put (and kept) most of them in office election after election.
The Texas law will screw countless GOP politicians in the 2022 Mid-terms. Without the abortion issue, and with the trump influence polluting right-wing politics, the measure of fascism is all that remains to separate one Republican politician from another.
