Larry Hogan and abortion

Hogan trying to play the “both sides are extreme” on abortion and whitewash his record

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/19/extremes-should-not-control-abortion-conversation/

He says he won’t vote for a national abortion ban but he won’t vote to codify abortion rights either, he vetoed it in Maryland as governor. Will this issue prevent the high numbers of Democratic ticket splitting? I know a lot of people voted for Hogan to balance out the “far left” in Annapolis, but there is no “far left” in the Senate that necessitates a so-called centrist Republican from Maryland. And his likely opponent, David Trone, is as pro-business and centrist as you could want.

Narrator:

He will vote for a national abortion ban. He is very much pro-life and has been always.

No sensible dem will vote for him. Moderate Republicans just toe the party line in the end.

We're about a generation into having abortion as a political litmus test. How has that been working out for us? Anyone happy with their choices?

Not enough people took it seriously. They were distracted by dumb crap.

If more people had done it, women would still have a constitutional right to make their own decisions about their own pregnancies.

Fair point. Thanks to our state-based Senate, pro-choice Republicans in Republican-majority states are the swing voters of abortion rights in the Supreme Court, with an assist
from Ruth Bader Ginsburg who donated her seat to the Republican party.

It doesn't matter what he says, even if he's telling the truth. He is running in a Party whose platform is committed not only to banning abortion nationally, but also to lying about it up until the minute they do.

And contraception and assisted reproductive technologies, too.

This. He absolutely will vote for a national abortion ban. This man is the Susan Collins of the South.

I’m fine with a ban at 16 weeks. That’s a reasonable compromise.

This is not a both-sides issue to compromise with Republican politicians on. Is Larry Hogan my gynecologist? No? He and all the other Republicans can STFO. It’s a medical issue, not a political issue. End of story.

If you are a “moderate Democrat” splitting your ticket to vote for Hogan, chances are you’ve always been a Republican and you’re just embarrassed to admit it.

David Trone is a moderate. He’s pro-business, pro-Israel, and pro-law enforcement. He’s way far to the right of me and I will still vote for him on abortion alone. If you are a moderate who thinks Democrats have gone too far left, Trone is your guy.

Imagine being this closed minded.

If Trump wins the presidency, there won't be a vote to ban abortion. He will ban it outright, nationwide, with an Executive Order. He will also ban the morning after pill. This is all being orchestrated by The Heritage Foundation.
