I believe I read, somewhere on this site, in the last week something to the effect of “the Democrats think abortion is going to lift them over the finish line,” said with deep incredulity.

But it is. Especially as the GOP keeps doubling down on this. Begging Jeff’s pardon on this, but the Baby Boomers are the only large group that votes forced birther (I think the Greatest and Silent Generations are pretty forced birth, but they’re around .2% and 5.49% of the population at this point). This issue and the GOP’s bizarre need to force it on women is a dying gasp of a once critical cohort that appears to be angry that their cultural relevance is significantly reduced. (But what do I know. I’m an ancient Xllenial who noticed all the equally ancient Xllenials in our skinny jeans and side parted hair at conferences last night). [/quote]

Is it really Boomers who are pushing abortion bans?  I thought it was young, shiny evangelicals pushing abortion bans - which includes Youngkin.  My parents were content that abortion was a battle won with RvW.  My mother is furious and my father has passed and thankfully cannot see what a disaster his GOP has turned into.[/quote]

Youngkin was born in 66, so not really a shiny young person.  Just a couple years past a boomer.

For a presidential candidate that is on the younger side [/quote]

All the boomer women I know are fierce pro reproductive rights and spitting mad about Dobbs. [/quote]

And yet, the exit polling from Ohio showed boomer women were the LEAST LIKELY of women to support the amendment. It was the young women who got this done.

Unfortunately - we continue to see that only those directly affected by policy really give an F abt the rights.  Even older women - who once had to care about this - don’t care when they get old.

And of course men support abortion rights less than women.  Again - if you don’t face the ACTUAL RISK OF LOSS OF YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY OR YOUR LIFE - you just don’t care as much…[/quote]

I can’t speak for Ohio but my boomer mother who lives in Richmond is a single issue voter on pro choice despite being conservative on all other issues. If the candidate is pro choice she won’t vote for them. Ever. [/quote]
