It is a risk that should be taken seriously, but Callahan is correct. Polls over the last year and prior to this week showed that Abortion was not a top ten concern to voters. The polls will certainly change, but they just need to stay the course to win.

Roe being overturned begins with the left bringing a lawsuit that they expected to lose because of the new make-up of the court. They did this while most Americans didn’t worry about sufficient access to abortion or whether it existed or not. Overturning Roe doesn’t change the situation in any state and it sure as hell won’t lower inflation or rising energy prices. And let’s not forget that for those for whom abortion matters; this is still a thing: Why Are Fewer Young Adults Having Casual Sex?

You associate with cheesy people.

Only someone who believes abortion is that important of an issue can possibly believe that. For most Americans, food prices, gas prices, inflation, the southern border and Covid lunacy still hold sway. This isn’t going to do squat to Republicans – they’re going to win or lose on their own merit.

I haven’t read the decision yet but this is supposedly a quote from it:

We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey. And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision. We can only do our job, which is to interpret the law, apply longstanding principles of stare decisis, and decide this case accordingly.

I am having a hard time believing this will not annihilate the Republican chances of taking back the houses in November and the presidency in 2024.

The assumption that voters won’t really care about this seems just really dumb to me.

Maybe I’m dumb … hope so.
