John,
I want to make this abundantly clear: There is no acceptable middle road or compromise when it comes to abortion rights.
The vast majority of Americans agree that the government shouldn't interfere with people's personal decisions on abortion. The GOP and anti-abortion extremists know this, so they worked for years to force their unpopular agenda through the courts — and away from the ballot box.
But now that they've gotten their wish and overturned Roe v. Wade, voters are fighting back. In election after election — in Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia — voters keep reminding anti-abortion extremists how out of touch their agenda really is.
The GOP can try to soften their anti-abortion stances all they want ahead of the 2024 election, but voters support abortion access. Period. And their presidential nominee, Donald Trump, can't outrun his extreme anti-abortion record:
- He appointed the anti-choice Supreme Court justices responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade
- He's boasted about being the president who "got rid of Roe v. Wade"
- He said there should be "some form of punishment" for women who get abortions
- He's even said he would let states monitor women's pregnancies so they can know if they've gotten an abortion
When asked point-blank if he would veto a bill that imposes a nationwide ban, Trump refused to answer.
I won't stop calling out the GOP's extremism and fighting for the right to an abortion nationwide. That means electing Democratic pro-choice candidates and ending the filibuster so we can codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. And that means supporting candidates and ballot measures that will defend abortion rights at the state level.
