16. I had been trying to find the WSJ editorial

so am glad someone finally posted a link. The closest I found was one by Ham Rove from what ended up being a day after the one referenced (April 27, 2022) that broached the subject as well. So it wouldn't surprise me if the whole RW strategist cabal already had a copy and worked through it to come up with the talking points.

I.e. -

How Badly Will the Democrats Lose the Midterm Elections?

Democrats believe that if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, it will ignite a surge in Democratic turnout. Maybe. But what if the court instead allows states to ban abortion only after 15 weeks? This might not cause the stir Democrats need. A recent survey by this paper found that 48% of voters support a 15-week abortion ban while 44% oppose it, not exactly a big winner for Democrats.
