Prediction..republican party will shut up about abortion for the next 3 months

[Demovictory9]

Like desantis

He stopped talking about abortion..

GOP will stop saying pregnancy by rape is an opportunity and stop calling on 10 year olds to give.birth

[lapfog_1]

1. but not until the last primary

because they need that extreme base to vote for them

[Meadowoak]

2. Or they will double down on abortion. Not the smartest people.

[Bettie]

5. I think they will double down on it

because that is what they do.

[Metaphorical]

24. They will double down

You're not talking about regular politicians here. You're talking about True Believers. If they shut up about abortion, they will lose their base, who will see their politicians as betraying their campaign promises. Moreover, they really don't have much else they CAN stump on - most will start tomorrow by saying that the Kansas vote was rigged.

Any serious GOP political consultant is going to be very nervous about Kansas, but their candidates? Not a chance.

25. yep

[Wounded Bear]

3. I expect Dems will pick up the slack...

[crickets]

9. They had better. It's the big issue from now to Nov. and beyond. nt

[uponit7771]

26. +1,

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. They will focus on making sure the opposition can't vote. nt

[EnergizedLib]

6. Oh, they don't have to talk about it

Women will live it. They will suffer, and they will die.

If they mention not a single word abortion, it won’t suddenly magically take away the subjugation women are now experiencing.

[Karma13612]

19. Exactly-

The anti-abortion measures have already created full length novels for countless women AND children who have been denied care and already suffered.

You don’t easily forget feelings of overwhelming fear. You don’t recover from pure terror of a missed period when there is no remedy. A female child of 10 will not survive a pregnancy carried to term without pain, fear, confusion and anxiety. And her own development will be stunted.
Her parents will be distraught.

SCOTUS and Republicans have few places to hide on this issue. Just because they go silent, doesn’t mean the suffering stops.

[Thomas Hurt]

7. I have to go with the opposite, between Trump and Dobbs, the christofascists

think they are in the home stretch to christian theocracy. Loud, proud and fascist for the next several months. More election big lies, more anti abortion, more anti gay marriage, more Qanon bullshit, more attacks on drag shows, more book banning, more attacks on public education etc.

Democratic candidates will need to watch their backs for physical assault and attempted assassination.

If they think they are about to suffer a serious set back or fail there may be terrorist attacks.

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. I do not see WOMEN stopping here..we didn't come this far, just to come this far...we are just

Getting warmed up
...Kansas you did your state proud....now WOMEN are bootin' up..and kicking ASS..... ain't turnin' back..can you feel it..

[Skittles]

10. no they won't

they cannot help themselves, the misogyny just oozes out of them

[Stallion]

11. That's Why a Vote Needs to Happen in the Senate

even if there is not enough votes for cloture

[uponit7771]

27. +1,

[live love laugh]

12. Still think it was timed to distract from 1/6.

And agree that they’ll shut up until late November.

[In It to Win It]

13. I predict the opposite

[Demsrule86]

14. I doubt it. The true believers can't help themselves, and we won't let them.

[herding cats]

15. They can't.

Not the ones who've already chimed in on it. The ball is already set into motion and their true believers are leading the charge.

They can't erase what they've already said and how they've already forced the issue thinking it was a huge win they could exploit.

Tick-Tock.

[Demovictory9]

23. You may be right. I read that they are pushing desantis to propose harsh abortion laws

[brooklynite]

16. Prediction: no they won't

There’s no top heavy GOP management that than impose sanity on the candidates and State parties, many of which are controlled by the Trumpists and the religious zealots.

[Lunabell]

17. Only the corporate ones.

The christo-fascists can't help themselves.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. No, they won't. Mainly because those who are opposing abortion will

NEVER be pregnant themselves.

Think about it.

And ask yourself why abortion opponents don't ever seem to understand that it always takes a man to get a woman pregnant.

[Karma13612]

20. Agree completely. Eom

[Hekate]

21. Probably Alito will continue his unseemly boasting, & enrage everybody

[Freethinker65]

22. Not if Democrats are smart. Make it the "her emails" hot topic.

[Scrivener7]

28. Yes, they will try. We should make sure they can't.
