Something youā€™ve probably heard by now is that the Republican Partyā€™s decision to decimate reproductive rightsā€”and celebrate the overturning of Roe v. Wade like it was the greatest thing to ever happen to Americaā€”has 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 Ohioā€™s state constitution; Kentucky voters reelected pro-choice governor Andy Beshear; and Democrats took control of Virginiaā€™s state legislature, preventing the GOP governor from limiting abortion moving forward, which heā€™d 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, ā€œYeah, we took away your reproductive rights, but, hey, weā€™re letting you keep contraception, and thatā€™s something!ā€
