The end of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling was the culmination of decades of work by Republicans and social conservatives — one that came to pass only after a former Democrat from New York who had once supported abortion rights helped muscle through three Supreme Court justices.
Publicly, former President Donald J. Trump heralded the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday ending federal abortion protections as a victory. Yet, as he faces possible prosecution over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election and prepares for a likely 2024 presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has privately told friends and advisers the ruling will be “bad for Republicans.”
When a draft copy of the decision leaked in May, Mr. Trump began telling friends and advisers that it would anger suburban women, a group who helped tilt the 2020 race to President Biden, and would lead to a backlash against Republicans in the November midterm elections.
In other conversations, Mr. Trump has told people that measures like the Texas state law banning most abortions after six weeks and allowing citizens to file lawsuits against people who enable abortions are “so stupid,” according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. The Supreme Court let the measure stand in December 2021.
For the first hours after the decision was made public on Friday, Mr. Trump was muted in response, a striking contrast to the conservatives who worked in his administration, including former Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence issued a statement saying, “Life won,” as he called for abortion opponents to keep fighting “in every state in the land.”

The only way it hurts is that it provides the media fig leaf to explain the 2022 steal.
Lies.

I think the Dobbs decision will primarily be a driving factor in districts that are already +10(D). Suburban women are also concerned about $5/gallon gas and rising grocery bills. If the economy was in better shape, I think it would be more of a concern but the country doesn't have the liberty to worry about social issues right now.
And before anyone says this is fake news, I don't doubt that President Trump expressed these sentiments. He's not wrong.
Horse feathers.
Untold numbers of I killed babies say “ so what!”
If this is what really matters to people, this country isn’t worth saving.
Which is why the DNC IT guys gave each state a list of their most populous counties in 2020, and "Got Out The Cheat".

BS - more propaganda from the communists at the NYTimes.
Unkilled. Auto correct is stupid.
The mass media has ten different “two minutes of hate” planned between now and the mid-terms.
The weak-minded have the attention span of three year olds—they will move on quickly.
Satanist females who love being able to kill children were already going to vote. They are a small percentage of the population.
Good point. A lot of it has to do with what shape we're in November. I doubt things will get better with Captain Joe in charge. So we'll see.
JOHN 8:44.
how dare he request an audit. doesn't he know the democrat party is above reproach in their pursuit of power?
Perhaps, but I do not see any positive changes in inflation, the economy, transgenderism or crime from the Democrats. I was surprised by the muted response in the streets so far.
