[quote=Anonymous][quote=BlueFredneck]I'm skeptical that there exist a group of people who'll flip R->D or NV->D if Dems just hammer home hard enough on abortion. I do remain open to persuasion otherwise, but most people outside the educated liberal bubble start getting uncomfortable with it after 20 weeks.

Or, how have Dems been doing electorally this century after going from "safe, legal, and rare" to "abortion all the time until 40 weeks!"?

Abortion's probably harder to get in more states than it was in 2000, and the GOP has built up trifectas in what, 26 or 27 states? [/quote]

Sure they do, but they also get very uncomfortable when they hear a woman died of sepsis because the fetus she was carrying was only mostly dead, and no one would help her until it was actually dead. It took one case with that fact pattern to change the law in Ireland of all places.

I don’t think the right wing has taken into account just how much the world has changed since Roe. Privacy and shame are out the window. Social media provides a way for a woman or her loved ones to reach a global audience fast. There will be no tragedies in the shadows that can be conveniently ignored. Eventually Pro-lifers are going to be called to account for the death and destruction they are causing. [/quote]
