    It can't be emphasized enough that GOP is scared of the abortion issue, it forces some hard political problems on GOP for them, and that the Democrats (if they had their shit together) could really use the issue to win elections and secure reproductive freedom.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1524559600246300674 …

        They’re not that scared at all right now. Maybe they should be but they’re not. Nobody here in the Northeast cares what happens in the South really.

        Trying to pass an abortion with zero restrictions isn't the way to seize the middle ground on the issue though.

        Abortion is starting to feel a little like marijuana legalization, everyone will know someone that knows how to get it, but people in power will love having a law they can selectively enforce against the wrong kind of people.

        Republicans always stop right after they cross a line, look both ways to see if anyone is going to do anything about it, look a bit unsure for a couple days until they are sure no one is, then move on to the next line.

        This is a “pre-crimination” for why Ds will lose in November. Is Gov. Abbott in trouble in TX? No? Then I guess people don’t care what happens to Roe —which was overturned 30 yrs ago and the remnants retained in place with chewing gum.
