Re: Women's rights

Abortion rights is the strongest mover of voters that the Left has, IMO. I am for the laws as they are. I wish we had not got there the "Row vs Wade" way, but that's water under the bridge. The people on the Right who are anti our abortion laws claim it's 50/50 and doesn't cost us any votes. I believe the Right would have a sweep every national election without this issue. I believe it's the reason for the huge gender gap.


I agree with this. This is the reason why Dems win single women by a huge margin.

There may be a 50/50 split between people who find it immoral and those who don't, but advocating a leap to make what many find immoral - to make it illegal - it turns 50/50 split into a 25/75 loss.

There nearly a zero percentage chance that:
1. Roe vs. Wade will be overturned
AND
2. some states will make abortion illegal

So all the arguments are about what is a hypothetical scenario, and GOP is losing votes because of a hypothetical...

Can some pro-life GOPers come out and say that they find abortion immoral but they not make it illegal?
