There needs to be some polling on this.
It seems unlikely . . . in the extreme . . . that this matter is vote moving. Or even vote inspiring.
The parties are living in the past. They represent only 27% each of the electorate, and all minds on abortion are already made up. Media harping on the matter may not affect the numbers at all.
I am actually quite surprised polling hasn’t been done to explore Independent (who dominate the electorate now) fluidity on this matter. After decades, one would think not at all.
All minds are already made up. The ONLY . . . truly the ONLY significance of the debate is on the clock. It eats minutes that should be talking about the border and the Swamp.
Pro-abortion rights amendments have been passed in even deeply red sates: Kansas, Ohio, Montana, and Kentucky.
The Party is running away from strong pro-life laws because it’s terrified of the being used as a turnout lever against GOP candidates.
Why do you think Donald Trump has criticized the Arizona law?
Democrats have already had great success running on abortion in deep red, very pro-life states - their masterful marketing and media campaigns have gotten pro-life voters to vote for radical pro-abortion candidates and policies. Arizona is more marginal than some of these states. The Democrats have their template and a record of success - flush with cash, while the conservative side sits on their hands and keeps the wallets closed.
Look at the conservative states that are voting to allow abortion. Like gay marriage, the landscape changed quickly.
