Someone tried this same angle of attack to boost Matt Bevin when he ran for re-election and it was a dud. Most people don’t care about any of it, apparently.

Yeah, unsurprisingly I bet people in the anti-abortion party aren't that concerned about women's rights being under attack.

Believe it or not, many GOP lawmakers are more sincere in their belief on this issue than the Democrats seem to be sincere about TWAW. Many GOP lawmakers have actually thought this through, and do care about women's safety and rights. And sports.

I hate the current GOP, but I'll give credit where it's due.

And BTW: I'm old enough to remember when ROE V WADE, giving abortion rights to US women, was passed. A lot of opposition to abortion in the US is not because opponents want to control women's bodies, it's that opponents genuinely believe abortion is murder because the fetus is a person. That is one of the reasons, if I remember correctly, more than 50% of American WOMEN support restrictions on abortion.

So the Democrats think that the issue is about a woman's right to choose what happens to her body, whereas many opponents think they're stopping infanticide. IMO, we need to understand each others views if we are going to get anywhere on this issue. Abortion opponents aren't all misogynists who want women to be barefoot and pregnant, many are quite kind people who think they're saving the lives of innocents. And many are women.
