***Interestingly, research shows that many Americans are uninformed about what overturning Roe actually means.

In a 2013 Pew Research poll, only 62 percent of respondents were aware that Roe concerned abortion rights - a full 20 percent admitted that they did not know at all what the case was about. Only 44 percent of respondents under the age of 30 said they knew that Roe was about abortion.***

Ignorance is bliss.

You’d have to educate the masses first, but it really doesn’t matter since the only opinions that count are those of the SCOTUS justices next time a case comes up challenging it.

Abortion advocates need to be kicked out of the Republican Party.

It's interesting how the two parties ended up on this issue. I tend to credit Ronald Reagan for leading the GOP into the pro-life camp (and conversely driving the pro-abort folks toward the Democrats). It very easily could have gone the other way. Prior to RR's takeover of the party in 1980, there was a pretty strong 'Planned Parenthood Republican' wing exemplified by George H.W. Bush et ux. With Reagan's successful coalition of the economic and social conservatives, the Bushes had little choice but to swing around to pro-life.

Likewise, you had folks like Al Gore, Jesse Jackson & Teddy Kennedy taking the pro-life side in the '70s, but switching sides in the '80s as the pro-abortion forces realigned totally on the Democrat side.

I know a ton of old people who are very traditionally religious, hate taxes and would probably disagree with every major point in the modern Democratic platform who are still registered democrats for some reason. They seem to be completely unaware of what the contemporary leftwing platform is.

I know a ton of young people who are both pro Trump and pro Bernie because of a vague sense that they are both outsiders.

I think a lot of potentially decent people partake of the crap sandwich known as the Democratic Party because they think that’s what it takes to be a decent person. PC victims all.
