Weirdly,
Kellyanne Conway seems to be trying to save Republicans on this topic.
Which, if you have a deeply unpopular message on abortion access is actually a good and sensible strategy to reframe the discussion in a way that's positive for you!
Honestly, this would likely win back a fair amount of support for Congressional races and the like for Republicans if they could keep the extremist talk quiet and just focus on topics where there's strong public support.
Darn, that sounds super woke to me.
It is the classic libertarian argument, and it's stupid and ignores the shared costs of unplanned pregnancies and children. Unless you're going to leave those suckers on the streets for charities to deal with because the state should apparently have no vested interest in ensuring abandoned children don't starve/freeze to death.
Sara is correct here. Unless Conway can get the whole Republican party, nationally, on board with this there will be enough state-level extremists openly discussing total abortion bans "from the moment of conception" (which as a reminder is not a thing) to use as anchors around the necks of other party members.
Or they can just like, literally point to bills proposed by the current House Republican caucus.
It'd be nice if they at least got on board with this.
But I don't think anyone here paying any attention has high hopes of success for Conway.
