6. They were destroyed at the ballot box for this line of thought

You would think they wouldn't be this stupid, considering that the "legitimate rape" mindset lost big time in the last election.

This is what leads me to believe they are hoping to appeal to Hispanic voters with this issue. Hispanics, however, also support safe and legal abortion.

74% of Latino registered voters agree that a woman has a right to make her own personal, private decisions about abortion without politicians interfering.

Big majorities of Latinos across the country and other voters agreed that abortion should be legal, including nearly equal shares of men and women, according to exit polling.

Exit poll results found that about two-thirds of Hispanics (66%) said that abortion should be legal while 28% disagreed. Among all voters, a somewhat smaller majority (59%) would allow legal abortions while 37% were opposed.

There is no gender gap on views on abortion among Hispanics or among all voters, according to national exit polling. About two-thirds of men (64%) and Latino women (67%) would permit legal abortion, as would 58% of all male voters nationally and 60% of women.

But this is the party that wants to teach children that Jesus rode dinosaurs, so, obviously, reality isn't the point for them.

that's why I say they are trying to appeal to the segment of the population that hates women.
