Opinion: Now that voters have spoken, Republicans have nowhere to hide from their record on abortion bans
Johh, the results of the latest election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade are in.
Once again, abortion rights proved to be the most potent issue across the nation, in red states, blue states, and across all levels of government. Pundits proclaimed that the Republicans’ attempt to reboot their abortion messaging failed and announced that in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, the party would have to search for different ways to mask their long-held goal to ban abortion.
But the problem is not their messaging. It’s their mission.
The issue is that after the Supreme Court stripped away Americans’ fundamental right to health care that includes abortion – a right they had for nearly 50 years – the people want it back. The newly-minted House speaker has not only sponsored a bill that would effectively ban all abortions from the time of conception but has openly called for abortion providers to be “imprisoned at hard labor.”
As their hardline messaging failed, many Republican politicians — including Donald Trump — have decided to tone down their rhetoric and argue for “common sense limits,” as if they know better than doctors and their own constituents all the circumstances that can impact pregnancies and their families. But their record speaks for itself.
80% of Americans believe abortion should be legal and once again, we've seen they WILL show up to the polls to defeat anti-choice politicians and defend it. We must hold these people accountable for their decades of pandering to the extreme anti-choice factions.
Next year's November election will be key in deciding where abortion rights go from here. Now more than ever, I am ready to take back the pro-choice House majority and work to protect our rights.
