"By actually delivering what Republican politicians had long promised their voters, the Supreme Court ensured Republican electoral losses in the 2022 midterm elections, and the repercussions continue.

It must’ve been quite the shock to the theocrats in states like Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana to so handily lose the abortion issue at the ballot box."

"Literally preaching to the choir served them poorly when it came to properly understanding the state of American popular opinion. And by arguing for over 50 years that abortion is 'murder,' Republican politicians have zero room to try and sell a 'compromise' that might soften voter anger. If abortion is murder at 38 weeks, it’s murder at 16 weeks, and it’s murder at one week."
