Desperate Dems Preparing to Weaponize Abortion Issue to Save Midterms – Opinion

Even though the Supreme Court has not yet made a decision in regards to abortion, Democrats are still deep into battle planning mode for the event. Roe v WadeIt was overturned. As we’ve reported, a leaked opinion by Justice Samuel Alito seemed to indicate in no uncertain terms that Roe would soon be repealed.

Democrats fear that they could lose the November midterm elections due to a potential electoral slaughter. They believe abortion is their most important issue. The following is a Politico article:

“We’re not going to be able to keep it in the national news, but we’re going to put a lot of money on paid advertising — on TV, on digital ads, on mail, on radio — and in key places across the country, and that’s how this issue will matter,” said Stephanie Schriock, former president of EMILY’s List, a Democratic pro-abortion-rights group. “And in some states, it will be in the news every day, because state legislatures are going to push this issue further and further to the right with outright bans.”

They better hope it’s their winning issue because they simply have nothing else to run on, considering that the economy is in shambles, the president is the most unpopular in U.S. history, the never-ending border crisis rages on, supply chain and travel problems abound, and our president can’t even ride a bike.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is ready to pounce “in the minutes after the decision is announced,” planning briefings, training, and fund-raising efforts. Meanwhile, abortion rights groups EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood and NARAL have already announced $150 million in spending for the elections. More via Politico:

“We will be using every tool in the toolbox to tell this story,” said Heather Williams, executive director at the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. “We know that Roe This isn’t the only problem [in the midterms], but Roe is a motivator … and we definitely see that voters who may be only presidential-year voters — that Roe falling certainly gives them additional motivation and urgency.”

Warning about graphic content:In the next few days, expect to meet many more fanatics such as these:

A pro-abortion protester heckles at activists with Students for Life, she tells them to “suck my dick, bitch” and mimics jerking off.

It was hard to understand, but I believe she spoke.

Josh Ulibarri (Democratic pollster) is intelligent enough to recognize that Americans support abortion are not the only ones who have problems.

I don’t think it wins us the persuasion fight, given everything else the public is facing, from inflation to rising costs to supply chain problems.

We will be motivated by the decision. No data, survey, or focus group shows that Republicans are winning in the pro-abortion fight. This is an easy win. However, is this more important than when voters look at the receipts when they shop at Target?

It almost seems as though this came from the lips of a Republican strategist.

As ghoulish as abortion supporters can be, and as frenzied as they can be in support of their cause, I don’t think it’s enough to change the reality that the Democrats are in for a wipeout in November; the polling numbers are simply too bad.  As my colleague Nick Arama writes:

To win, Democrats will throw dirt at the wall. But it’s clear people are tired of the nonsense, tired of the Democrats, tired of Joe Biden, tired of inflation and the tsunami is on the way.

Democratic Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt sees the writing on the wall, telling Politico: “Democrats can’t rely on one issue or one problem to change people’s minds.” She’s right—they’ll need a heck of a lot more than the abortion issue to avoid the red wave coming their way.
