Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) warned in an interview Saturday that a national ban on abortion is possible if the Supreme Court guts Roe v. Wade as its expected to do and federal lawmakers then pass a law prohibiting abortion across the country.

EVERY Democrat running for office should have ALL the ammunition they need to win. Unless 'Merica is just beyond hope.

(35,669 posts)He has to be aware of how this polls, which is very unfavorable.
One cbs survey shows the issue does not translate to Democrats at the voting booth, but it does for the small percentage who support such oppression (to vote Republican). However, it was noted this is highly subject to change as it sinks into the public mind.

Of course, she appealed to his sense of responsibility and told him he needed to vote accordingly.
Point is, it's time someone analyzes how true fiscal conservatives have been taken. Budgets are a keen way to destroy social programs. Easy to tell a fiscal conservative voter that they're knocking out 40% of the Democrat's budget, but do they actually know what programs are being destroyed?
Of course, the Republicans also serve their targeted budget cuts with a side of slanderous misinformation about the programs. Dems need to do a better job of talking up their programs.

Don't just vote, VOTE TO ENLARGE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES.
The only revolution happening is this very dangerous far-right one.

They want to take women out of competition in the workplace and in politics. Because if they compete with us on an equal level, they lose their privilege.
This is what it is all about.
ELECT MORE DEMOCRATS

(58,785 posts)Wording may be to sound less extreme to pro-abortion RWers. A few years ago Pew reported almost a third of all Republicans supported abortion rights.
But for McConnell, everything has to be about the midterms now. They have to get out their base while holding on to as many swing voters as possible. The stakes are enormous.
