Subject: Re: They working Abortion
It also allows the democrats to argumentatively eliminate all the space and nuance and force the GOP to argue on legal technicalities. Dobbs overturned a really janky Supreme Court ruling from the 1970s and that's all it did...but try telling that to somebody really emotionally invested in the issue any of that - they won't listen. The other thing the democrats have done is play offense 100% of the time on the abortion issue - there's not a single ad where it comes up and the GOP, being the stupid/weak party, doesn't know how to counter-program it.

The GOP certainly doesn’t know how to counter-program this issue because there is no counter-program for this issue!

Dobbs did more than overturn a janky SC ruling. It allowed states to make laws that outlawed abortion even in cases of rape, incest, and the safety of a woman’s life!! And that’s exactly what many states have done. You better believe it’s emotional. Women’s lives are on the line. The Texas AG is suing to get access to women’s medical records. I bet if he was suing to get access to your medical records, you’d be plenty emotional, too.

-Abortion should be legal (see the first point) in the first few weeks of pregnancy

The vast majority of women have no idea they’re pregnant in the first few weeks of pregnancy. In fact, a pregnancy test doesn’t even work for at least 3 weeks into a pregnancy.

The janky Roe vs Wade ruling wasn’t perfect, but it got it mostly right according to a vast majority of Americans. Abortion was legal until a fetus was viable (usually 24 to 28 weeks). Final trimester abortions were only allowed to protect a mother’s life. Only the right-wing religious groups (that are ok with supporting an adjudicated rapist who breaks at least 1 of the 10 Commandments EVERY day) wanted their religious beliefs to be enforced for everyone. And the GOP needed their votes, so they caved.

You might say the GOP got hoist by their own petard (not to mention their greed for power and their ignorance about what women wanted).

I could go on, but I trust you get my drift.
