The “abortion election” narrative was always a dumb joke.
For starters, most women who might want an abortion in the future are already Democrats.
In addition most of those women who deeply care about abortion live in states where abortion is still legal—so their lives are totally unaffected by the decision.
Add to that the obvious massive inflation (particularly at the grocery store) which affects everyone—and it was obvious abortion was going to be a non issue.
I’ve never understood how a woman who has carried a child for nine months and experienced the miracle of birth could support abortion. It’s one thing for a person who has never experienced such and thinks of it in abstract, versus a person who has actually gone through the process. It is a child from conception and women feel the growth throughout their pregnancy. It’s not as if the “clump of cells” turns into a person after exiting the birth canal. Most women realize this fact even though many try to deny it.
How could “suburban women” with children make their voting decision on this issue? I would think most would make their voting selections on the issues of the price of groceries, gas, and the increased costs of having their child enroll in piano lessons, little league sports, etc. I would also think parents would vote for the party that is for school choice and not having their child indoctrinated into the “trans” cult.
I suspect many parents may spout the “progressive narrative” at the office, but when it comes to the privacy of the voting booth, will quietly vote for the best interests of their family.
I believe that will be the red wave. Suburban moms who previously may have voted Democrat instead voting for the GOP candidate in their state or district, although never admitting it.
