7. Few republicans will ever regret it.

Some will. Some will lose a daughter because of Dobbs.

But gestational slavers have long held that because "abortion is murder", saving all those "innocent babies" outweighs virtually any evil or horrible outcome in terms of its effect on women, families, and other social matters such as the crime rate.


What they will regret is killing the fundraising goose that laid the golden egg. For decades republicans had a gold mine with all those single-issue voters who hated roe. Now those donations will start to dry up as it's their turn to get complacent. Meanwhile our side is already seeing massive donations from people wanting a return to sanity.

The people consequences, they don't care about.
The *political* consequences, that's another story.
