Is Abortion, Not Trump, The GOP’s Albatross?

Authored by Matthew Boose via American Greatness,

Republicans should restrict abortion wherever and whenever it is prudent to do so…

How many times do voters have to send the message before Republicans get the picture?

America loves abortion. Is that cavalier? Unfortunately, it’s the truth. Decades of “me, me, me” culture have taken their toll. We are in the end stages of democracy, here, and there may be no putting the genie back in the bottle.

Nothing is ever free. Because of Dobbs, abortions are much harder to get in a number of states. The right made a bargain to save lives, and the cost is pain at the polls.

Tuesday’s election was a wipeout for conservatives. Everyone is quick to blame Donald Trump, but the real loser was Ron DeSantis – although it’s hard to say what he had left to lose.

DeSantis, and the pro-life movement in general, hammered Trump weeks ago for urging Republicans to moderate on abortion. They called Trump a sell-out. But Trump is unfortunately correct. No serious political junkie thinks Trump is going to lose Ohio next year. And guess what? Ohio just voted to enshrine abortion into law, and it wasn’t particularly close. In a time when the smell of pot pervades every public space imaginable, Ohio also legalized recreational marijuana. It was twofer for “Fetterman nation.”

Trump is the only Republican with the sense and the courage to say what many conservatives do not want to hear: their moral agenda is unpopular. This is especially true in the Rust Belt states that Trump flipped in 2016, like Pennsylvania. Democrats won a Supreme Court seat there on Tuesday night by, once again, championing “choice,” much as they did successfully in Wisconsin months ago.

Trump’s Republican critics are already trying to blame him for the election’s disappointing results. In reality, Trump has never been more electable.The New York Times just released a poll that has Trump dominating Biden in swing states, despite the unprecedented and unscrupulous lawfare campaign unleashed on Trump by the Democrats. The “blue wall” that Trump toppled in 2016, since patched up by Biden (with a little help from ballot shenanigans), is vulnerable once more.

Democrats are actually scared for the first time in three years that they will lose the White House. They’re not confident in Biden, at all. Nothing would calm their nerves so much as Republicans nominating an uptight socially conservative ideologue in 2024.

Biden wants to run on abortion. It’s his party’s saving grace – the perverse absolution for all the destruction they have wrought.

Republicans have a winning agenda on every other issue – the economy, crime, and especially immigration, Trump’s signature issue. Everyone can see now that Trump was right about the border, especially those taking advantage of Biden’s abdication by pouring across. An unprecedented invasion is swelling at the gates, and even blue state voters have had enough.

In Suffolk County, New York, Ed Romaine won the race for county executive in a landslide – solidifying the GOP’s gains from last year in the Empire State. Romaine is the first Republican to hold the office in 20 years. Of course, in New York, crime and immigration are much more salient issues than abortion.

Immigration is the reason we are in this quandary with abortion to begin with. Decades of demographic replacement have rigged democracy in the favor of one party. Democrats now have a built-in advantage in every single election, and pretty soon they will win them all. This is the biggest issue facing the country, not abortion. America cannot survive another four years of the invasion. The Republican party certainly can’t.

Republicans should restrict abortion wherever and whenever it is prudent to do so. But, as the saying goes, “politics is the art of the possible.” This reasoning strikes many conservatives as devilish, but we live in a fallen world. Republicans can either continue on their self-destructive course, or they can compromise with reality, take Trump’s advice, and fight to live another day.

If you can’t win a single battle you can’t win the war.

Roe vs Wade had been the law of the land for almost fifty years in 2022 before the Dobb’s decision. Every woman of child bearing age grew up with the thought if she felt she needed an abortion she could get one, thinking she never would but not giving up the option in the voting booth.

If the Republicans were serious, they would focus on grandparents for family pressure and late term and partial birth abortions. Showing films of the procedure. Make those young mother sick with the truth. They would also change their stance on the morning after pill, which if used properly the fertilized egg is a zygote not an embryo. Remember the left is going to feel about abortion like the right feels about gun control, they are lying to you and will chip away at any right they currently give you.

Abortion is a losing issue for the GOP. It is either save the children you can, of save none. I have no idea how to change that. But sometimes you have to face political reality, and the reality is we are currently close to a one party liberal socialist state.

Sophistry. Use of words.

There are plenty of unwinnable battles even on the winning side of a war. In particular, winners of wars do not typically throw in one man against ten thousand and then say “well, we have to be able to win every conceivable battle if we are to win the war.” Winners pick their fights.

Yep.

With the caveat that, do we really want to mass produce blacks and more generally, careless, short term thinkers, who have flings with people they don’t like, and then don’t think to use birth control for any of the several months before it becomes a major issue, and generally don’t like living and don’t want more existence?

Practically all of these children, if born, will vote against republicanism. As far as I’m concerned, anti-abortionism is as bad as open immigration, for the end result is the same.

We should restrict child rape whenever it is politically expedient but support the rape of children if it’s politically beneficial.

Do I have that about right?

Okay, imagine a world where there are two popular parties. Party A is the Zon-Kuthon party, and supports maximization of human suffering, and advocates for giant torture and breeding camps where people are made as miserable as is humanly possible. Party B is the Eros party, and supports maximization of human sex, and advocates for giant rape orgies where child rape is commonplace.

We’re in a democracy and the two parties are about equal in size. Do we do the politically expedient thing, or do we condemn all life to an eternity of pain and misery?

Your argument tries to sound as if it makes sense, by taking advantage of an environment where child rape outweighs most of our other concerns, and where actually advocating child rape is not in fact politically beneficial. If the vast majority of Americans were pro child rape, reducing a few child rapes here and there, at the cost of all other issues, to include crashing the economy, widespread increases in all non-child rapist criminal acts to include rape of non-children, murder, assault, theft, etc, demographic annihilation of your side, and so on, is not actually a wise move.

While it should be noted that a child rape does cause more damage than an abortion, if Americans supported child rape as fervently as they support abortion, it would be unwise to build a political platform that was against child rape. You’ll just cease to exist, and then, not only will you fail to protect children, you will fail to protect anything at all.

Mainstream narrative is that GOP lost because of abortion.
This author wrote this article to reinforce that narrative.
Elections matter and election rigging and fraud do not exist.
You are a conspiracy theorist nut if you think anything otherwise.
Also, the SCOTUS decision was determined by duly elected Republicans.

Matthew Boose is transparent.

The win at the national level was a constitutional win. Abortion is not a federal issue. At the national level take the win and STFU! At the state and local level the idea of triage ought be considered. You aren’t going to stop the baby murdering leftists standing around talking about their sacrament, abortion, but by getting elected and legislating.

You do not have to tell everything you know for goodness sake, take a lesson from the commies.

The conservatives have it all wrong on abortion. One of the most important rules of life to learn is never to stop your enemy when they are making a mistake. If liberals want to kill their offspring, why should we oppose that? Do you want more liberals reproducing and teaching their offspring to follow in their footsteps? They are literally wrecking the world and pushing us into WW3. They are responsible for every problem we have today, and you want more of them? Really?

The wages of sin is death. The liberals elimination of their own kind is a logical consequence of their ideology. The invasion of the borders is their response to the dilemma. The current self-gratifying liberals (if it feels good, do it) have aborted their future and need immediate replacements at the voting booth to satisfy their lusts while they continue to breathe. Liberalism is proven as a psychological disorder and a sin against the Almighty in many respects.

The Communist call it Reproductive Rights but they mean anti-reproduction baby murder. There is no Right to murder, not even babies, not even mothers have that so called Right. There is a God and it’s a fact that He is fiercely opposed to murdering babies of any race; that issue has to be solved another way; I suggest we stop subsidizing indolence by taxing the hell out of working parents. Also, require all the children produced to get a productive education.

So the author deflects from the fact that the GOP is full of corrupt, spineless, useless, bloodsucking politicians and blames it on one single issue. The reason abortion is being protected in states like OH and KS and soon MO is because they word the amendments to make it confusing and appear to be rigid without exceptions. MO is currently dealing with it so it can be on the ballot next year and they are literally going to court over wording.

The Rethuglicans should just run up the white flag and officially join the Demorats. They aren’t fooling most people anymore.
