[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The right, and Leonard Leo specifically, have bought and paid for our Supreme Court Justices and have curated incremental erosion of certain rights over the course of 2+ decades.

Roe is but one example. The Gun Rights, votong rights etc are others.[/quote]
You’re not going to find a single Republican who finds anything wrong with this whatsoever. But I agree with what I think you’re saying: that the Republican Party is slowly destroying America from within. [/quote]

DP.  Fwiw, I know plenty of Republicans who want nothing to do with abortion and want to leave it to doctors rather than the government and don't want it to be restricted or made illegal.  Don't post absolutes if you don't want to be corrected.[/quote]

The problem is that these constituents don't value the abortion issue enough and they vote in legislators who stick with the party line which is anti-abortion.  This is why Republican party leaders try so hard to avoid betting abortion on election ballot initiatives.  You saw what happened in Kansas.  And I expect the same thing will happen in Ohio over the next few weeks.  There are many people who are coming out of the woodwork to vote for the ballot initiative to protect abortion rights.

I think if you correct PPs to be "find a single [b]elected[/b] Republican..." that PP would be much closer to the truth.[/quote]

I won't disagree with that statement - but I will also say that abortion has not been on the ballot significantly since RvW was struck down, and each time it has pro-choice has won.  So regular Republicans have not had much of a chance to vote on abortion at all recently.  That's why these midterms are so important.

It's not like a discussion on DCUM is going to change anything one way or another - but the way some (many) posters talk about half the country is both incorrect and unhelpful.  That was why I responded.  [/quote]
I’m the PP you “corrected” and I still very much take issue with just waving away the forced birther votes of Republican voters and then trying to pretend that they’re something approaching pro choice. That’s false. They made their decision in staying with and voting for the GOP as the GOP’s abortion stance became more and more extreme. So don’t pretend like they occupy some middle ground when they were happy to keep voting for open and aggressive forced birthers.

And look where it got us. So miss me with making excuses for people who think that women’s bodily autonomy is something not to focus on at the ballot box. [/quote]
