They have gotten the message….
Taking it AWAY from American women is a LOSER policy that keeps costing them elections…
Even Donald Trump is knocking the party on their support of limitations….
(He is doing some dancing now…)
A National Ban pitch is out of the question…..
The Anti-Abortion peoiple are losing their friends in the GOP…..
One way or another abortion is NOT going away from America …..

Voters pushed back decisively after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, approving ballot measures that established or upheld abortion rights in all six states where they appeared.
Now, with abortion rights groups pushing for similar citizen-led ballot initiatives in at least six other states, Republican-controlled legislatures and anti-abortion groups are trying to stay one step ahead by making it harder to pass the measures — or to get them on the ballot at all.
The biggest and most immediate fight is in Ohio, where a coalition of abortion rights groups is collecting signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would prohibit the state from banning abortion before a fetus becomes viable outside the womb, at about 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Republicans say there’s a practical reason for their change in stance: After Roe v.
