If you ask people to vote for GOP presidents to get conservative judges to overturn Roe you have to do it
All the states passing laws to protect abortion show the system works without inventing rights that aren't there
The GOP isn't ending abortion but the democrats thank you for the support

A point to consider, dems have assumed they'd get the Hispanic vote and are worried about the recent loss in the polls. But generally Hispanics are pretty conservative on this issue and are usually not pro-abortion. Libs aren't going to gain any ground in this demographic by going crazy here.
If the news is true, then I would agree November is back up for grabs- sadly. But as I understand, all this would do is take the law back to the State level which is where I believe it should have been all along.
Dems can't be surprised by this- for the last few years we've seen states like New York and Virginia bring laws to the books that would allow abortion to the moment of birth. When your argument goes from Safe. legal, rare to "whenever I want" you're going to lose folks.
Right now as I see it the platform for the left is:
Free (someone else pays for it) Healthcare
$15/hr minimum regardless of skill set
Shift loan burden to working class
Men can get pregnant
Men shouldn't control women's bodies
Not exactly the party of maturity and good decisions.

I think its more like starting the pressure release on a pressure cooker. Less damaging than letting it blow at once. Nonetheless, the antifa left will have a heyday with this. Rioting and looting four months before the election will not be a popular move except for those who were never going to vote dem. Store owners in Portland and Seattle need to buy some more insurance.
In polling and politics the number one wedge issue (an issue focused on and used simply for votes) for democrats is abortion. Race comes in second but is a far second, its not even close. The rats have used race now for several elections and abortion has taken a back seat because they didn't need it. The SC laid this slow, flat softball pitch out there perfectly for democrats.
If anyone is listening today to the talking heads on the left, they are running with this like there is no tomorrow. The rat media is right in lock step. The fucking idiot biden didn't even mention in his speech the scoundrel stole the opinion and fed it to the rat media, something this country cannot afford to have happen, ever. That is not going to be mentioned by rats in two days, that will die, they love the illegal act as it helps their election chances.
I was listening to msnbc and they were calling the traitor a hero.
Anyone who thinks it will all be about taxes, the border, inflation and taking away your free speech, think again. Statistically speaking, all of those issues added together will not come close in moving votes across the aisle like abortion does. And it doesn't even matter that the opinion was just throwing this back to the states, nope, this is all about a wedge issue to win elections.

It's always about economics and security. I'll agree that for some weak minds, unlimited abortion is their biggest issue. But take a PMS housewife and ask her if she prefers unlimited abortion rights versus safety for her kids and the ability to provide housing and education for her kids.
They voted for biden and look what they got. A bad economy, cartels walking across the border with drugs and a war with Russia.
The reality is this: Statistically speaking, millions (not all) of women vote emotionally. Biden was grandpa to them. Trump the big bad wolf. Trump gave us peace through strength and a booming economy until covid hit. They voted against their best interests if what you say is important to them.
Abortion is a womans issue and there are going to be millions of them reconsidering their votes for Republicans regardless of how fucked up biden has made things.
If they can’t afford to drive their kid to soccer AND buy wine, the moms will give no fucks.
So is family security. The republicans need to make their clear case. Much easier to do today because you can't hide the anti-America anti-family agenda of the left.
65% of voters agree with laws that prohibit abortion after the 1st trimester, and 80% support laws which prohibit abortion after the 2nd trimester. Those are basically what states like Mississippi have enacted. If the GOP actually grow a set of balls there are good talking points that can win.
It's a states issue and it seems to me that the states know how to handle it just fine. Hopefully this leads to some liberal migration out of red states in a reversal of what happened during COVID.
