After last year’s election that showed the strength of the abortion issue (Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, etc.) the State of Ohio took a gut punch on November 7th. If you recall, Ohio GOP members engineered a special election last summer in an attempt to require a 60% majority to amend their state’s Constitution. That effort failed. Then the pro-choice advocates got open access to abortion on the November ballot and it won handily. The message is clear: whenever a political Party supports the view of the minority of its constituents it loses. Now the GOP has two choices: (1) they can hold tightly to their anti-abortion position and lose every election; or (2) they can switch from pro-life to pro-choice and show themselves to be hypocrites. Either way the Dems will have an incredible opportunity to “out” them. Republican Governor Youngkin of Virginia saw this reality and began preaching a 15 week abortion proposal in the weeks prior to the recent election. It didn’t work because no one trusts the GOP to stand by their words. And by the way, how does the “pro-life Party (GOP)” justify its moral stance against killing a fetus in the first 15 weeks? If you’re pro-life how can you OK fetal death up to that point? The answer is: you want votes and know you can’t win unless you change your stance. Watch how the abortion issue sinks the GOP in 2024.
