Isn't it funny how republicans think banning abortion is a winning issue for them electorally?

[Anonymous]

lol its funny to me because come November they will find out how unpopular banning abortion truly is... so just keep it up republicans keep that mask off your face revealing who you all truly are. let everyone see you!

mark my words. They are playing with deadly fire.

What makes you think that's the reason they do it? I think most Republicans know darn well that politically it hurts the party and will lose votes. They don't do it to get votes. They do it because they don't want abortion.

I've been saying for 30 years that the Republicans need to stop going on and on about abortion. It doesn't gain any votes, but it does lose a lot of votes. They don't care. They just want abortion banned.

Winning doesn't have a damn thing to do with it, and never has.

[Asker]

Cool well as long as you’re aware its a losing issue

[WindAtMyBack]

I've heard Republicans say they don't care if they never win another election, as long as abortion gets banned. MOST don't think that way, but enough do.

Most people look at a bigger picture when they vote. But there are some issues and some people who are one-issue voters. Abortion is one of those issues. There are one-issue voters on both sides of that one. They vote for that one issue, and nothing else matters.

Not only that, but they think killing or oppressing gays and pushing gun rights is all that matters in the world. I don't agree with abortion or homosexuality, but I'm not about to go on a major campaign about it either. And as Christians it's my belief that we have no business being as political as we are on these matters that God isn't interested in on a politically theatrical spectrum. God isn't in favor of our worldly governments no matter who says they're a Christian and hates abortion.

[LazerBean]

We don't think that at all, we are very aware that most people wish to reserve the right to kill their babies if they get the whim

[Asker]

yup just keep saying that out loud. over and over and over again. im sure it'll get through to people...

[LazerBean]

Not sure why you think my opinion of your kind is high enough for me to care about getting through to y'all

[Asker]

and that kind of spirit is a major reason why republicans will lose badly this November. keep it up

[LazerBean]

So you're mad if I do and mad if I don't. Got it lmao

[Asker]

Im not mad, im happy. You guys will ensure trump loses this November lol

[MzAsh]

Well if they aren’t willing to reconsider their controlling stance on the issue, then they can get used to losing.

[normalice]

They think it will motivate their base, and it will.

Their main plan it's to demotivate democratic leaning voters by using the citizens united ruling to buy massive amounts of airtime on media with a center/left audience. And use that time pushing bothsidesism, gaslighting, dissimulation, and of course the fact that Biden is old..

[Asker]

their plans not gonna work. its just gonna drive people out to the polls like nothing has before. fear and restricting peoples rights is a huge motivator for getting people out there and vote.

like Florida is suddenly in play now that they just introduced a 6 week abortion ballot initiative. Florida of all places! i think republicans have miscalculated this badly.

[normalice]

Thats what I mean. If they fill center/left media with bothsidesism and culture war nonsense that center/left audience will gradually forget abortion rights are on the ballot.

[Asker]

women for sure are NOT gonna forget. mark my words.

[normalice]

I am rooting for them. Just the fact that even one person wants to vote for the guy who tried to start a civil war on live television raises my doubts on the general population's memory capacity.

[Bricealan]

I am a Republican (fiscally conservative) but a Democrat (socially liberal) and what the Supreme Court did, by setting aside Roe vs Wade, was probably the most politically suicidal thing they have ever done... since Roe vs Wade stood for nearly 50 years... I was astounded at that decision.

[Asker]

it was always supposed to be the ol carrot on the stick. they were never supposed to actually give them the carrot. and now they're finding out badly why they never should have done that.

[strateguy632]

that's not the reason!

most Republicans know that the policy politically hurts the party and will lose votes. They don't do it to get votes. They do it because abortion has a helpless victim.

[Asker]

Well keep at it. Maybe everyone will wake up someday and see things your way! Might be tomorrow or 100 years from now but just keep it up!

[gorydetails]

Yeah, they often under estimate how much women love killing their unborn babies.

[Asker]

yup say that loud and proud. show everyone who you fascists truly are! hehe

[gorydetails]

I'm a "fascist" because I find it morally repugnant to cheer the ability to murder your own child? Something tells me you don't understand normal English terms.

[Asker]

mmmhmmm you just keep thinking that. you haven't got a single clue lol.

[gorydetails]

I'm agreeing with you. I agree that women would rather burn society to the ground than accept the consequences of their behavior. I don't know why you seem so upset about it.

[Asker]

and as you just revealed this isn't about preserving life. its about punishing women. fantastic. keep saying it!

[gorydetails]

Oh, you're a retard. Sorry. I was trying to discuss something with a rational person.

[Asker]

Ohh using the R word already? How typical

[gorydetails]

We've established that you are a retard. You don't have to keep convincing me.

[Asker]

What am I again?

[gorydetails]

You don't know?

[Asker]

I do. I just want you to keep saying it over and over again ;)

[gorydetails]

You living with yourself is enough.
