Republican Poll Shows Abortion is Driving Voters Towards the Democrats

[Eagle-Keeper]

@H_Arendt

Can we come back to the question posed in the thread. How should Republicans respond to this issue politically given that the vast majority of voters who will turn out to vote for abortion rites would never consider worshipping abortion.

Twenty posts in and not one person has offered a view the underlying politics of the issue. Let’s see how far we can get before someone provides a substantive answer?

What they should do is emphasize that issues like this were Constitutionally supposed to be an issue for each individual state, which is now simply where it’s at. This is now an issue for the people in each state to seek to resolve.

if that is, they can find an abortionist who is willing to perform the procedure on a un-emancipated minor without the consent of a legal guardian.

Planned Parenthood would.

I doubt it. They are very careful to not get stung by medical malpractice suits. But a PP employee might …

That’s fine, but do you think that is a sound strategy for R’s win back women pissed off that they have had a right taken away?

[WuWei]

It isn’t a right.

Great. That should translate into laws in states where the overwhelming majority believe that.

It’s not your data. It’s your conclusion.

Biology is not subject to popular vote.

Believe the science.

Y’know, if these state legislatures had any stones at all they’d put these restrictive abortion laws on the ballots for the people to vote on. But since they saw what happened in Kansas I don’t think that’s gonna happen any time soon.

I think they should too.

What happened in KS was that they wrote the measure with language that gave the legislature unspecified leeway to change things moving forward.

No, in the Kansas constitution it says current abortion laws can’t be changed. They wanted that taken out by the voters and it failed.

Whether or not you know it, you agreed with me.

First trimester => 13 weeks.

So why the outrage from the left about 15 weeks?

There is no contradiction between belief (which is supported by science) that life begins at conception and the opunion that first trimester abortion should be legal.

13 weeks. But the left has their hair on fire over state laws that limit abortions to 15 weeks.

l am about as lefty as you can get, first trimester seems like a good compromise.
