Roe vs. Wade
Jul 8, 2022, 9:37 PM
|
|
Does the Supreme Court‘s recent decision help or hurt the Republicans? Biden is in such bad shape maybe it won’t matter for the midterms. But Donald Trump himself reportedly thinks overturning Roe versus Wade is not good for Republicans as it relates to short-term elections. I tend to agree with that. Republicans have an issue with women anyway, and this should make it even worse.

I think it will motivate some on the left to vote in November

but most of those people were likely to vote anyway.
The economy, inflation, gas prices, etc. are far more important issues for most people and that’s why I think you’ll see Republicans do well in November.

^^this
Those on my side are sorely mistaken by thinking a social issue will drive more voters to the voting booth than economic issues will.

it will hurt them this fall

and will bring out younger, first-time voters as well as swing moderates to the left.. If Democrats can stop stepping on their own dicks with their idiotic messaging and identity politics, they can run on this alone and hold both the house and senate. The last thing the majority wants is to see our social policies revert back to the 1950s. They should play Clarence Thomas' opinion on the reversal of wade, as "we just done getting started", on a loop 24/7. And most importantly, Corporate spending will favor the democratic candidates, hugely. The Citizens United ruling will bite the GOP in a bad way in the fall because corporations are people, and they do not want to pay for maternity leave, nor do they want to support a party trying to roll back LGBT rights. I mean Blowjobs are about to become illegal in most of the south and midwest(great campaign ad), and The AMA will have something to say well.
The only thing the republicans have in their favor is control over the state houses and restricting voting access, but it will not matter.

18 year olds that can’t be held responsible for buying their own health care, understanding how a student loan works, or how a baby is made…should elect my president.

if they can be trusted with an ar-15, then they can vote

and possibly snake handlers and baby boomers with one foot in the grave should not be deciding the future of this country. (another great campaign slogan.)
Democrats just need to stop worrying about offending people and take off the gloves this go around.

Take off the gloves? Guess that soft coup was child’s play last time around.
Picking a president over abortion is stupid anyway. That was the point of the decision. If people want it, elect state reps that support it.
And snake handlers are fine people with small carbon footprints.

He’s talking about his parents that he hates. He makes his mom live in a a single wide (no A/C), when he could afford a nice condo for her.

I am too old now to have more babies and don’t have the body parts anymore so Roe doesn’t affect me really. I am pro-choice but with stricter guidelines about how far along you can be when an abortion is done. Late term abortions are sickening unless the mother’s life is in jeopardy. Since Roe doesn’t affect me personally anymore I’m much more concerned about the economy right now but I can see why young women are concerned about it. I would be too if I was their age. I’m from South Carolina but the South is generally more socially conservative than I have ever been. I’m not sure which party will benefit the most from this in November. Since a Republican landslide was already a given due to the economy I don’t know how much pro-choice voters will change that in November.

If the Democratic primary voter turnout since the leak
Jul 9, 2022, 7:19 AM
|

of the Roe v. Wade decision was released in early May is any indication, then the voting dynamics of the 2022 elections have largely remained unchanged. Since early May, Republican voter turnout has continued to outpace that of Democrats. I believe these numbers speak to what I've believed all along: very few people are single issue voters and abortion is not an everyday issue like inflation, grocery bills, and energy costs.
The Republican platform has been pro-life for a long time. For the few voters that cast their vote solely on the abortion issue their voting pattern will not change. Single issue pro-abortion voters will not vote for Republicans and single issue pro-life voters will never vote for Democrats. The overturning of Roe vs. Wade may get a lot of media gnashing of teeth and screaming from the professional leftist protestors but overall voters that have looked at their 401k's and family budgets will be far more concerned with other issues come November.

Tabby, you are kidding me! This IS the best economy historically for the US per Karine Jean-Pierre. That fact coupled with the SCOTUS ruling spells doom for the GOP.
Seriously, I am concerned that while I believe the Pubs take back the House and we won't have to look at Prune face, I can see a scenario where the Dems actually make some gains in the Senate. It's gonna be hard to hold the seats in PA and WI.
However, as long as the GOP takes the House, the Progs will be effectively neutered.
The old question of are you better off now than 4 years ago or 2 years ago, is still relevant. Regardless of the causes of inflation and wages not keeping pace, most folks do vote their pocket book and the party in power typically suffers the consequences.
Bye Nancy, Hopefully bye Chuck. Hello Joe the moderate.

As I have said before, hurts both short- and long-term.

Short-term it will save the Dems a few seats in Congress and may conceivably prevent the GOP from getting the Senate majority they (and the country) badly need in the mid-terms. G-d save us from Biden.
Long-term, it takes away one of the cheapy and easy wedge issues that the GOP could count on for their base. I personally know people who would never vote Dem for any reason because of the abortion issue. These (useful to the GOP) idiots would often vote against their personal interests in order to vote "pro life" (funny how the unborn never inconvenienced anyone).
While I do firmly believe 1) Roe was bad from a con law standpoint and 2) abortion should be limited, I also believe this is not a black and white/binary issue, abortion is necessary and should be safely available in some cases, and the GOP have now lost a cheap and easy vote getter.
Be careful what you wish for GOP.
