In a Republic, actually
‘Texas Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz recently deleted mentions of her pro-life stance on her website, The Daily Beast reported earlier this month. “Monica believes in finding common ground on this issue. This includes protecting sensible exceptions for women in heartbreaking situations and improving access to prenatal care,” her campaign manager Andrew Baughman told The Independent in a statement.

She’s not alone. The Independent found three other Congressional Republicans who removed all vestiges of their once-vocal pro-life stance, eliminating terms like “abortion” or “pro-life” or “protecting the unborn” from their re-election campaign websites.

Take Ohio Rep. Troy Balderson, for example. In 2022, his campaign website listed a “Faith and Values” section, under which read: “As a Christian, Troy believes life begins at conception and is 100% pro-life, and it’s why Ohio Right to Life PAC has endorsed his campaign.” But his 2024 website makes no reference to his stance at all; the entire section was deleted. His 2022 official House website also read: “As a principled conservative, Troy supports protecting life”— but that sentence no longer appears on his current page.

[…]

The 2024 campaign website for Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer also no longer mentions the anti-abortion stance that was listed on her previous website. Chavez-DeRemer’s site said in 2022 that she “won’t stand” for “abortion on demand.” The claim was prominently displayed.’


Political cowards and hypocrites who clearly understand that opposing a woman’s right to privacy and reproductive autonomy is a losing issue, and don’t have the courage to admit it.

They're removing mentions of "abortion" because only you Democrats are stupid enough to make that your most important issue to base your 2024 campaign on.

Meanwhile, the middle class is paying out the ass to survive Bidenflation, the whole fucking world is burning, and we're being invaded from across our southern border.

By all means make "abortion" your most important campaign issue. You don't have anything else to run on.
 
When will the demoncrats prominently feature border invasion, grooming, urban murder rates, and mutilating minor childrens' genitalia on their campaign websites?

I think the Democrat approach - to use the basic human rights of women as a political football so they can continue burning the country to the ground - is WAAAAY classier. :)

We can tell you're scared.

Good!

They need to get off the losing nag of abortion.
They don't bring it up. Democrats consider it a winning issue and the media pushes a response from Republicans. Should they give up principle to win an election?

Gee, our school kids love celebrating Veterans Day here. They invite the local Veterans to come to the school and serve them lunch to show how deeply they appreciate what the Vets have done for them.

I particularly like the way Democrats have legitimized the physical abuse of women by supporting transgenders competing in women's sports.

It's really gives a whole new meaning to the old Honeymooners line "One of these days, Alice. Pow! Right to the moon."

The left just hates women. Children too.

In fact, the left hates everyone.

Yes.....It's not like they have any to begin with when elections are on the line.
I get that you convinced yourself that turning a preborn baby into hamburger isn't a problem, but for nearly half the country, IT IS MURDER. Thank God we have many with the integrity to say so out loud.

You're not among them
