If Roe vs Wade is overturned, will the GOP lose in 2022?

[Desk trauma]

There will be no advertising and abortion. I went on vacation; they have no proof an abortion happened.

That’s where the pregnancy tracking comes into play.

Good Day,

Great question... it may give some traction to the "prolife democrat's" to have impact the GPO by increasing their voting base.

I don't see that as very likely. Even if the Court Overturned R v W , which is doubtful, abortion would not be outlawed in the places where the majority of people favored it being legal. Most likely it would not have much effect on abortion availability except for a very few states where it being unavailable might be popular.

That's true. Overturning Roe v Wade does not mean abortion is banned, it only means the matter reverts to the states.

What will be more interesting, and already troubling in Texas, would be states taking measures to make it a crime to go to another state for the procedure. Laws like that would have wide-ranging problems far beyond abortion.

Your point is well taken and in reality, is quite true. Nevertheless, I still think that enough suburban women might be upset enough to cost the GOP at the polls, despite the fact that most of them would not have to worry about access to an abortion.

I doubt it. Suburban woman have a lot more at stake in maintaining a conservative status quo. Let's not forget that over half of white women voted for Trump--which includes a lot of Democrats. If they still have access to abortions, those other concerns will maintain priority.

The most interesting outcome of a post Roe US would be seeing how the chips fall with “but abortion!” taken off the table as something to hold unlikely political alliances together. I see a lot of them collapsing but I think those who benefit from them will double and triple down on punishment for abortion in an attempt to hold them together.

Prolife Democrats used to be a thing. Aren’t they extinct? Can you name any in Congress?

Corrected. Autocorrect had trouble with the word ‘prolife’ and snuck in ‘proliferate’ instead. Sorry.

Laws such as that are absolutely unconstitutional and should never be passed to begin with.

Democrats are not defined just by the politicians that the party allows to be elected. There are still a few pro-life rank and file democrats out there.

Most of us were pushed out. I have respect for the few who battled on, but they are few. And if you count Joe Manchin and ? not many in Congress.

Not sure about the representation in Congress, but to use that to conclude they do not exits is unfair. IMHO

I know of the existence of the DFLA. That they continue to exist is wonderful. But the Party hates them. How long can they hold out?

 

[eleos1954]

Most experts now expect Republicans to retake the House next year and possibly the Senate as well. However, a huge uproar over the abortion issue could cause a shift in the odds and keep both chambers under Democratic control. What think ye?

I don't look for any change on the federal level ... but that they (federal) will defer to the state (just like they do now) and each state will be different in how/when of abortion ..... but I don't think there will ever be a total ban or overturn of it. Time will tell I suppose.

As long as they avoid the coitus tracking. It could overload the servers.

AFAIK, all overturning Roe v. Wade would do is return to decision to the states, which I consider to be a step in the right direction, at the very least.

Why is it a step in the right direction? If we take the pro-life perspective that a fetus has personhood and a fundamental right to life, then wouldn't that be something that you would not want individual states to make different decisions on?

If the right direction is making abortion unavailable it will have little impact on that front aa it would remain legal for the majority of the population and available to all others who can go out of state for a day or two.

Can you watch the house? We're just going cross border for a few days to drop the kids off.

I would love to see nation wide legislation banning abortion, but I don't think that is feasible in this current political climate, so at this point, I'm willing to take what I can get.

Allowing some states to ban abortions is better than mandating that all states must make abortions legal, imo.

Why is the discussion so much about preventing abortions rather than reducing unwanted pregnancies?

 

[Incendiary Minds]

Why is the discussion so much about preventing abortions rather than reducing unwanted pregnancies?

Well, dead silence about my examination of some Men, in addition, the Catholic church and other Christian as well as secular organizations want eventually to criminalize artificial birth control methods calling some of them " abortifacient' as for Catholics they disapprove of barriers methods like Condoms that are not so called ' abortifacients'. So in effect it's complete control of the heterosexual acts blaming Women for unplanned pregnancies, never the desires nor actions of MEN!
