Republicans tip toe around their abortion ‘win’….

By

That it would seem is the GOPer’s first reaction to the leaked High Court’s coming announcement that they will over rule the historic abortion decision that locked in abortion for American women…

Polling shows that the procedure has the support of more trhan 50% of Americans…

Even with Southern and Western states banning the procedure ?

Abortions have ceased….

Women just travel or obtain a pill to do them….

And?

Republican women have abortions also….

The basic in ths IS that this IS a ‘Women’s Rights’ AND a more worryingly , General ‘Rights’ issue that the five justice ‘s have opened the door on….

In the hours after the leak of the possible High Court throw down?

Republicans have been all but silent as Democrat’s go ballistic ….

Presidnt Biden has ALREADY gone to the ‘What other Rights will the court look to strip from Americans mode’

Polling will be forthcoming…..

We’ll wait and see….

Most Republicans, even those who have been fierce opponents of abortion, have signaled that they don’t want to dive into the abortion debate — at least not right now. And polling shows that most Americans don’t want the court to overturn Roe: just 30% of Americans said they wanted to see the ruling struck down, according to polling conducted by CNN in January.
After months of internal wrangling over their party’s agenda and the White House’s handling of the country’s economic and immigration woes, Democrats in difficult races began to speak with one voice, with the likes of New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan standing behind her party’s leaders on the steps of the Capitol as they railed on the Supreme Court and Republicans. And others running for reelection, such as Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Mark Kelly of Arizona, were not shy about bringing up the issue.
“I think what we heard last night is a devastating message to women all across the United States,” Warnock said.
Republicans see the battlelines forming, even as many didn’t want to discuss the potential impact of the court’s upcoming decision.
Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, who is up for reelection in a swing state this fall, said the Democrats were talking about abortion because “Democrats love wedge issues” and “can’t defend their record.”
“You take a look at open borders, 40-year high inflation, record gas prices, rising crime,” Johnson said. “They can’t talk about the results of their governance, so they’ve got to try and find something else to run on.”….
….
Republicans also don’t plan to shy away from the issue if they win the House or Senate, and have started internal discussions about which anti-abortion bills they might bring to the floor if they’re in power.
But when asked Tuesday about whether he thinks a federal abortion ban is necessary, McConnell dodged the question and once again pivoted to attacking the leaker…

  1. Republicans Could Rue Ending Abortion Rights

    May 4, 2022 at 7:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 275 Comments
    Marc Johnson and Robert Saldin: “Republicans have effectively harnessed the grievance that comes with a feeling of being cheated, leaning on it to mobilize, organize and consolidate the conservative movement that has fueled the GOP ever since.”

    “But if the court overturns its line of decisions protecting abortion rights in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, it will leave a very different set of Americans aggrieved. Supporters of abortion rights will fume over something long taken for granted being suddenly stripped away. And a fight in deeply conservative Idaho three decades ago indicates that their anger could scramble the politics of abortion.”

    • Yep. The dog has finally caught it’s tail. Now what’s he gonna do with it? “Abortion is Murder” was fine for a bumper sticker but now what are you going to do about it now? Prosecute a 17 yr old victim of date rape who ends a pregnancy at 7 weeks? Will miscarriages be considered suspicious deaths? The answers to those questions can’t fit on a bumper sticker.

      So out of curiosity I checked CGs blog. You’d think after all these years clamoring about the “sanctity of life” he’s be celebrating. Nope. All American Idol stuff. The only commenter was the known lunatic who used to go by “Conservative Democrat”.

      • Well Scott?

        Someplace DID arrest a woamn for having an abortion…..

        After that hit the national media they let her go….

        The anti abortion wingnut don’t een want women to be able to get a ‘pill’ bt mail to do the procedure….

        And let’s not forget about going after contraception pills for some of these people…

        The Democrats ARE gonna move this from abortion to whole sale American “Rights’ protections ….

        THAT one hoipes will galvanise Democrats and OTHERS to come out a vote for their futures….

        CG seems to have tired of the back and forth discussions of politics?

        It seems he has comoany here….
