They are using vouchers, LGBTQ issues, CRT, and other culture war bull shit to gin up the base because the GOP leadership knows that abortion is a losing issue by a wide margin.

Even some moderate or right leaning women who may be inclined to vote Democrat due to the abortion issue can be brought back to the Republicans due to the other culture wars.

We are winning on the abortion issue hands down. I’m not sure, but I think we are losing on the other culture issues unfortunately. Negate them and we win a ton of seats next year and keep the White House.
