For the same reason they refused to go to townhalls after ACA was passed. They just hide when their goals are not what their electorate want.
They are a criminal organization
Don’t even need to read the article:
“Because in the 70’s we tested issues we could push that would make people’s blood boil and abortion NAILED IT in trials.
So we pushed it via religion, and everywhere else. Now your average republicans felt pretty passionately about this throughout the 80’s/90’s.
Instead of keeping up with the times (because most of us are old) we just dug our heels in not realizing that waves and waves of generations would turn this into an intense losing issue.
In summary the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs Wade turned us into a dog that has caught its tail in its mouth. We don’t know what to do, and the harder we bite, the more it hurts us”
Because it’s an election year and they hope people will forget over the coming months that they absolutely want to ban abortion throughout the US, then go after birth control and abortifacients and WIC…
same reason Franklin Graham had all the warnings about Mormonism being a false religion scrubbed from his dad’s website when Mitt Romney won the GOP nomination against Obama, I suppose…
Gotta love the “I believe so much in my moral code I’m just gonna hide it over here behind these robes and coats.” Nothing like flexible integrity.
Following the November 2023 elections, Utah Republican Sen Mitt Romney admitted: “The more we talk about abortion, the worse we’re doing.”
The idiom “the dog that caught the car” often comes up when discussing conservatives’ aspiration-turned-reality of dismantling the constitutional right to abortion in the 2022 Dobbs decision. “We caught the car, it doesn’t sell,” Ariel Hill-Davis, co-founder of Republican Women for Progress, told The Independent. “Almost no Republicans are out there touting [Dobbs ] as a victory.”
Conservatives are out of touch with what the people really want. And now that Biden’s economy is kicking ass, conservatives suck fiscally, too! lol
Flops! If youre gonna dismantle the right to abortion you might as well do it with your whole fuckin chest.
Wild how these people flip from “my body my choice” during lockdown and mask wearing. But all of a sudden turn to not your body, not your choice, now back to pretending nothing happened.
You know the answer. Hypocrisy
Because they want stupid republican women to forget all this unpleasantness had anything to do with them.
It’ll probably work too.
Abortion is just one issue where their position is in the minority. Assault weapons, tax cuts for wealthy people, and health care expansion are others. That’s why they always make their campaigns about fear. If they debated the issues they would either need to change their positions or get slaughtered.
Oh boy, boomers don’t know that you’re not supposed to piss off the internet if they have a goal in mind lmao
-grab the popcorn
They don’t actually want any of the policies they are passing. And yet, it is not occurring to them that their future policy plans will also backfire in the same ways.
Uh, I think they should be required to carry their statements to the end of the term. They had a 3 week window at the onset to make a decision, and they clearly missed the deadline. If they hadn’t wanted to stand behind their statements, they shouldn’t have made them.
They can hide all they want, but Trump won’t stfu lol
Make their lives difficult. They did it to you first.
Banning abortion was a popular GOP talking point when we all assumed it couldn’t possibly happen. But then the dog caught the car, the GOP got exactly what they wanted and now voters are terrified.
Severely restricting immigration is a popular GOP talking now but I’ll bet it wouldn’t be if we let the GOP do every ugly thing they want at the border.
So brave……../s
They genuinely believe it’s unfair that voters are punishing them for trying to take their rights away, and that they are entitled to at least half of the seats in Congress no matter how repugnant Americans find their political positions.
More importantly, they still haven’t figured out a cohesive party position – some Republicans claim they only wanted restrictions past 12-15 weeks while others are openly pushing for a nationwide ban, but voters are wisely choosing not to give them the benefit of the doubt.
So they just expect us all to ignore it while they try to distract us with border theater and claims that a recession is imminent.
Hypocrites and cowards that’s why. Also power hungry liars
Got impaled by the same sword they were fighting with.
They found out that all their parents have become pro-choice *for some reason*.
Pfft. As if women will forget the brazen attacks on their choices as to what they can do with their own goddamn bodies. Conservatives picked this battle. They can carry it to term. If they didn’t want to suffer the consequences, they shouldn’t have fucked (women over) in the first place. Christ I can’t stand these motherfuckers.
It’s an election year. They don’t want to risk killing the wrong woman.
Cowardice, the definition
Because it was only ever about posturing for votes. It guaranteed them the crazy vote. But actually delivering on the issue alienated a ton of other voters.
That SCOTUS ruling will be viewed as a huge strategic mistake. If they had chipped away at it through several rulings over five to ten years, they might actually have succeeded in their fascist coup. Instead, they gave their opposition renewed vigor to put this nonsense to bed.
Why is the UK Independent reporting on such niche US interests?
I don’t think it is up to Republicans just to abort this. They need to carry it to term. It has been more than a few months now and now they have a viable argument. You cannot just abandon it and try to get rid of it.
They can deleted it if they want, we won’t forget.
None of these Republicans make state laws.
Abortion is a state law, as confirmed by the decision by the US Supreme Court.
So this is just putting up distractions instead of fair campaigning by Democrats, typical.
