EVEN AFTER SUFFERING multiple state-wide losses on the issue, the Republican Party is not backing down on abortion, party chair Ronna McDaniel said.

“I’m proud to be a pro-life party, but we can win on this message,” McDaniel said on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “The American people are where we are, and they want common sense limitations. They want more access to adoption. We want to make sure that there’s pregnancy crisis centers. These are things we can win on.”

Republicans also like to make it very hard for certain people to adopt.

At this rate the only party they will have left will be their own farewell party.

I’m honestly so glad to hear this. GOP is only digging Their own grave with this. Let them go hard. Let them loudly label every R with pro-life. They’ve lost almost every election local and National with that and they will keep on losing.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“I’m proud to be a pro-life party, but we can win on this message,” McDaniel said on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

When asked about the Senate Republican campaign arm telling candidates to oppose a national abortion ban, McDaniel said, “We’re going to let the legislators and the Senators and congressional members stake their lane out.

As of this past May, the majority of voters (63 percent) oppose the Dobbs decision that overturned federal abortion protections, according to Gallup.

Elsewhere — in Kentucky, Montana and Kansas — voters have voted down efforts to restrict abortion access.

And on the recent election day in Virginia, voters had an opportunity to keep a red state senate and flip the legislature, but instead Democrats won in both houses, creating a stopgap that will prevent GOP Gov.

Glenn Youngkin from pushing through anti-abortion legislation he hoped to pass.
