Something youāve probably heard by now is that the Republican Partyās decision to decimate reproductive rightsāand celebrate the overturning of Roe v. Wade like it was the greatest thing to ever happen to Americaāhas not gone over great with voters. The 2022 midterm elections, which were supposed to be a red tsunami for the GOP, were anything but: Democrats picked up a seat in the Senate and Republicans just barely took back the House, with voters in critical states citing abortion as the most important issue of the day. A year later, the right to an abortion was enshrined in Ohioās state constitution; Kentucky voters reelected pro-choice governor Andy Beshear; and Democrats took control of Virginiaās state legislature, preventing the GOP governor from limiting abortion moving forward, which heād planned to do. The results were unambiguous: The American people want abortion rights.
Now, with the 2024 election less than a year away, what are Republicans running for higher office to do? According to GOP strategist and Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, the answer is simple: make their campaign slogan something like, āYeah, we took away your reproductive rights, but, hey, weāre letting you keep contraception, and thatās something!ā
And then as they always do, the second they win, theyāll be coming for that too.
Start? Already coming after it.
Oh we already know that, but theyāre gonna be two faced and try to play it off like theyāre notā¦ then the mask comes off 1 microsecond after they win.
