Republicans are trying to find a new term for ‘pro-life’ to stave off more electoral losses
Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., summarized the closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill as being focused on “pro-baby policies.”

At a closed-door meeting of Senate Republicans this week, the head of a super PAC closely aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., presented poll results that suggested voters are reacting differently to commonly used terms like “pro-life” and “pro-choice” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, said several senators who were in the room.

“What intrigued me the most about the results was that ‘pro-choice’ and ‘pro-life’ means something different now, that people see being pro-life as being against all abortions ... at all levels,” Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said in an interview Thursday.

Christina Reynolds, a spokesperson for Emily’s List, an organization that promotes female candidates who support abortion rights, said Republicans’ shift in messaging is “underestimating” voters’ understanding of the issue, adding that “wrapping it up nicely” would not change voters’ minds about abortion.

“I think their messaging was not the problem. Their position is the problem, and they’re going to be stuck with those positions,” Reynolds said. “At the end of the day, voters are clear in poll after poll and in election results after election results that they believe that people should have the right to make their own health care decisions, that they support abortion rights, that they supported Roe v. Wade.”

1. Call it what it is: Governmental Annexation of Livestock

Or maybe Crazed Conversion of Humans to Livestock by Theocratic Decree.

There is no catchy marketing phrase or name that will justify and make palatable the treatment of half the human species as less equal, less human than the other half.

2. Stupid

Just stupid.

[Walleye]

4. Again, demonstrating their disrespect for women

“Well just give it a nice name and then the little ladies will come on board with us.”
They are so used to winning elections with marketing and salesmanship, they don’t realize it’s their policy that screwed up. Until they are honest with themselves we’re gonna have a fight every goddamn time

5. Wow. Even co-opting the word"life"

for their misogynist program doesn’t work any more? Took long enuf!

[tanyev]

6. Pro-baby? The party that fights family leave, programs like WIC and EBT cards?

Pro-forced pregnancy and birth is what they are.

12. +1. And Medicaid expansion for working parents

7. How about "Your baby, your problem!"

(Psst. I am trying to "help" them.)

8. Why don't they just call it "We Think Voters are

Stupid”?

9. How to know you're stupid Exhibit X * ∞+1

“What intrigued me the most about the results was that ‘pro-choice’ and ‘pro-life’ means something different now, that people see being pro-life as being against all abortions ... at all levels,” Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said in an interview Thursday.

Gee, maybe the reason people think that you're "against all abortions...at all levels" is because--wait for it--*YOU BLOODY TRAITOR THUGS HAVE SAID SO FOR DECADES NOW.*

Ya...think?

You bought that ticket, traitor thug. Now you get to take the ride.

Suck it up, buttercup.

10. Here's a good one:

Right to choose.

11. I think a good plan would be to drop "Pro-Life"

in favor of "Anti-Masurbation". Really dig in Repukes.

How many innocent lives are lost through beating-off? Think of the Semen!

Every one of those little swimmers is a potential zygot.

You must campaign strongly against "pud-pulling".

13. Searching for another layer of lipstick to apply to the pig?

14. "Pro-life" is already a propagandist term. Where do they go now?
