To hear it from political pundits, abortion hurt Republicans in the midterm elections and the GOP should consider downplaying the pro-life message. But nothing could be further from the truth.

The reality is that pro-life candidates in states across the country fared well. And when it comes to Republican governors who signed abortion bans, every single one won their re-election.

“GOP pro-life candidates win in competitive races if they define their opponents as abortion extremists who support abortion on demand with no limits, and contrast that with a clearly defined pro-life position centered around consensus such as pain-capable or heartbeat limits,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said in a statement to LifeNews. “This must be the key takeaway for the GOP as we head into the 2024 presidential cycle, especially those eyeing a run for the White House.”

And she’s right.

In Texas, pro-life Governor Greg Abbot signed what became America’s first aboriton ban and it successfully saved babies from abortions even befor the Suipreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. bet O’Rourke campaigned almost exclusively on abortion and spend tens of millions to defeat Abbott. He lost by 11%.

Maybe Republicans have begun to realize the informational tactics that have been successfully used against them. If so, it's taken long enough.

Truth: Strong Republican candidates who are strong on their ideals do well. The conservative base has grown sick & tired of all the compromise as they finally see the degeneracy has no end.

Narrative: Republicans who are against abortion did not fare well in elections.

Weak Republicans back off and go along.

Hopefully no longer. House cleaning is in order and has a way to go. But it's begun. Will it continue?
