If you're an aspiring democrat strategist, like Scarborough, then this is brilliant advice. He anticipates (correctly) that many, maybe most republicans in congress actually support abortion no matter what their campaign rhetoric says. So if Schumer schedules a vote it's a total win-win for him. He will get ALL the dems to vote yes and make the base satisfied. And he will force republicans to either vote to support abortion or not. Most will NOT want to go on record either way. Sure, they talk a lot but most of what they say are lies (see: six years of all of them proising their #1 priority was "Repeal and Replace Obamacare" until they could actually do it and refused to even have a vote on it).

Basically such a vote would put a lot of GOP members in a very uncomfortable spot. So why wouldn't dems want to do that?

It’s like Gay Marriage, privately a lot of Republicans were happy that the issue got taken off of the plate when the Supreme Court approved it.

And that includes one Donald Trump, because he never even had to address the issue.

Only one problem, the bill is the extreme version. If they put up a bill with say a 15 week limit, then they'd likely pass it.
