"SNIP.......

* 40 Republican House seats flipped to Democratic candidates following Kavanaugh's 2018 confirmation.

* In 27 of those races, GOP candidates led in polls taken prior to Kavanaugh's contentious hearings. 

* The reaction to his confirmation may show how the repeal of Roe v. Wade could impact this year's midterms.

1. Just don't let our hope turn into complacency

And don't let our fundraising emails and messages of urgency replace an actual plan of action.

2. And don't let the Debbie Downers make us give up the fight.

[ColinC]

3. And if you don't fight, there's nothing to give up.

4. I hope we see that kind of impact. This year and in two more years.

5. Post hoc ergo propter hoc

There’s little reason to believe that the Kavanaugh nomination played a big role (and even some reasons to believe it hurt us).

The article makes only one weak swipe at even trying to progress the point beyond the fallacy

6. Democrats controlled both the House and Senate for decades

before Newt Gingrich and his Contract for America.

We did it before and we can do it again.

8. Yet, they still passed everything Reagan signed into law.

That turned out well

7. We need a brilliant ad campaign

Gruesome, heart wrenching stories of women being killed, injured, scared because of these laws here in the USA. It’s happening and will keep happening. Infections from improper miscarriage care. Forced to carry a fetus that will die. Forced to carry a spawn of rape. Killed by a boyfriend who doesn’t want a child. Trapped in an abusive relationship. True stories of how this is harming and killing women already.
