Being offensive is their strong suit.

They didn’t learn anything from Kansas. Hell, Kansas didn’t learn anything from Kansas.
They know they can’t change peoples’ minds about abortion because they don’t have any reasons for the bans. And so, they have to pass laws against the rights of people to get what Republicans need to continue getting elected.

The RNC will not back down from their effort to make everyone except old white men 2nd class citizens… and this works for them.

The definition of conservatism is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Wait…that’s the definition of insanity.

Eh, same thing.

“…our proud heritage of challenging slavery, segregation, and the forces eroding the family and the sanctity of human life”

Oh my lord the paper-thin rhetorical bullshit from these guys. It’s equal parts preposterous and offensive.

The RNC must be staffed with a horde of MENSA political strategists because that tactic is rather counter intuitive. Or maybe the GQP electorate is populated by a bigger horde of willfully ignorant lemmings.

The GOP is so worried about the imaginary pain of a six-week fetus, but will force the birth of a fatally deformed baby who will live a few days at most, and that in great pain, because, well, because that would be the evil “late term” abortion…

The Christian Nationalist are emboldened.
They are doing a bang up job on the schools even with the dismal mid-terms.
The math isn’t really there for them, but apathy works too.

Great! It worked so well the last time!

It is still shocking to me that those most affected, Gen Z (potential) voters turned out in such paltry numbers last year, but in a Presidential election year, there might be stronger dynamics to actually vote. This will help.

Here we go again. Beating a dead horse. These extremists are so hellbent on attacking women, it leaves me breathless. The GOP is truly the party of know nothings to quote Truman.

Women in this country are in favor of retaining the right to abortion by huge margins and this woman-hating party is playing to their base. It’s also very hypocritical of this party since we know the men in it can use their influence to have women who are not their wives obtain an abortion thereby keeping the hypocrite in office.

The resolution also blames Republicans’ historically weak midterms performance on candidates failing to push their anti-abortion bona fides hard enough.

Yes – yes, that’s exactly what happened! :roll_eyes:

Dear Reps, please have mercy on us Dems. Please, please don’t throw us in that-there abortion briar patch. Anything but that.

Ever heard of this guy?

Not that the current gang share anything but the name with old Abe’s party. Who exactly are the RINOs here, anyway?
