    If the polling is accurate, and only 5% of the public thinks that abortion is the top issue in this election, then the Rats will have pissed away a ton of money on ads that do not speak to the biggest issues in this election. Crime, the economy/inflation and immigration is what the public is telling pollsters are their top issues. None of those issues help the Rats.

    Independent Women Swing Hard Toward GOP Despite Democrats’ Abortion Push

    If accurate, this could swing a lot of seats to the GOP.

    My wife, a lifelong Democrat said she probably would have voted for Smiley but for her stance on abortion. GOP had all the ammunition they needed to win bigly and dropped the bullets in the river. I’ll still be voting for Smiley but it’s the suburban housewives that have been led astray by the abortion issue. Hope I’m wrong.
    A convenient thing for your wife to say in order to curry some favor with you. If you really believe that abortion will be banned in the state of Washington, and you’re motivated to vote on that belief you were never going to honestly vote for a Republican in the first place.

    Damn near every single DIM campaign ad in Oregon is abortion 1, abortion 2, abortion 3. Apparently their constituents don't care about inflation, immigration and crime. No ideas, just ABORTION BANS!

    Same in Washington with Patty Murray.

    Abortion.
    Tiffany's a TRUMP supporter.
    etc.

    Not a peep about jobs, inflation, the economy, the border, etc.

    God help us if this tactic actually works.
    It will for Murray. You may take all the screenshots you need.
    How many abortions have you had @mellodawg?

    The right to abort in WA State is in no danger. Sounds like a red herring.

    That’s because in 2008 he was a racist.

    I said this last week- Stacy Abrams is well behind Kemp in the polling so she digs her heels into the ground more on abortion. A solid move to rope in all the folks who were already planning on voting for you.

    Yesterday Ben and Jerrys (you know, the ice cream folks who give political advice?) ran a full page ad in the AJC that conservatives don't want black people to vote. Meanwhile- those nasty statistics keep getting in the way-
