 Democrats look to abortion politics to draw voters to polls

Democrats are looking to repeat what abortion politics did for them in the 2022 midterms by appealing to a large swath of voters who think overturning Roe v. Wade went too far.

President Biden’s party achieved better-than-expected results in the midterms in large part because voters came out to elect Democrats to restore federal reproductive rights. They hope it’s still an issue that’s top of mind for voters.

“Democrats will keep it as a core part of their messaging heading into the fall because it’s such a clear contrast to the Republican position, which is out of step with where the American people are on this issue,” said Democratic communications strategist Katie Grant Drew.

Biden’s reelection campaign is targeting former President Trump, the GOP front-runner, in its messaging about Monday’s 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, aiming to remind voters his presidency led to the Supreme Court decision to overturn the landmark case in June 2022.

“When Americans go to the polls on Election Day this November, they will go knowing that the fate of every American woman’s freedom to make her own health care decisions is on the line. They will also know that the horrific alternative — the chaos, confusion, and uncertainty women whose rights have been ripped away are experiencing right now — falls squarely at the feet of Donald J. Trump,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez said in a Friday memo.

The Dobbs decision is gonna be "a loser" for Republicans -- even in some RED states -- for years to come.

Each election cycle, the DCommunists are going to discover -some- reason to shoehorn yet another ballot initiative regarding abortion to serve as "a draw" to get young leftists, particularly young leftist women, to turn out and vote.

In hindsight, the Pubbies would have been better off by just walking away from Roe, or persuading The Court to further adjust it so that abortions would be permitted to a certain point, but then leave it to the individual states to decide afterwards. Indeed, that was the original concept at the core of the Roe decision written by Harry Blackmun, which put forth the concept of "trimesters" (that became largely ignored in later years).

Dobbs was a gift, but NOT to conservatives.
And it's gonna take a while for them to understand that.
