Repeat after me "Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"

"Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"

That's the talking point

Period.

Lindsey opened this door.
ONE of them said it.

No explaining the nuances
No talk about "weeks.
"

That's how they treat us when one fringe person says Defund the Police, they taint all with it.
Except this time he put it in a fucking bill.
So it's GOP official policy

Now they pay the tax for it.
Repeat after me:

"Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"
"A Republican Congress will finish what THEIR Supreme Court Started!"


That's the second talking point
Period. Again.

They stopped trying to learn a long time ago. But they usually know how to use wedge issues ZonkerHarris Sep 2022 #2

usually
This time it's our turn.
the same way Karl Rove sent waves of GOP voters to the polls in 2002 and 2004 over the same sex marriage issue we should leverage this to the max
Every candidate on the ATTACK.
It's a winning issue.

Because women have been able to vote since 1920.

Don't piss off women.

And while we're at it, point out how the Republican's "we want it to be left up to the states" schtick was all a lie the entire time. It was all just propaganda, used to try and soften what their ulterior motives were because they knew that it would not be popular with a majority of Americans. Now, it is all out there for everyone to see. It was never about states' rights -- REPUBLICANS WANT TO BAN ABORTION ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. It's about CONTROL over women's bodies.
