RNC calls on candidates to 'go on offense' on anti-abortion laws in 2024

The Republican National Committee is doubling down on its anti-abortion stance by urging all GOP candidates and lawmakers to “go on offense” in the 2024 election cycle and pass the strictest anti-abortion legislation possible.

In a resolution passed Friday during its winter meeting, the committee called on Republicans to pass laws “that acknowledge the beating hearts and experiences of pain in the unborn.” Such language has been used to pass “heartbeat” bills that would ban abortions at six weeks, before many people know they are pregnant.

Following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade in June, Democrats made abortion a key issue in the midterm elections, leading to a larger majority in the Senate and a slim GOP majority in the House.

Voters across the country handed decisive victories to abortion rights advocates, as results from elections just months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade showed access to abortion was a key issue for voters.

I want to know why all current GOP legislators have not produced large families and why their married daughters (and sons) are not raising their own quiverfuls.
