Reply #30: GOP uses it as a rally call at election time. To lure the antibots vote.

[Union Yes]

The GOP controlled govt from 00-06.

They've always campaigned on banning choice, yet choice remains legal to this day.

Now I'm as prochoice as anyone on this site. But I still wonder to this day..

Why didn't the GOP push harder to ban choice when they controlled govt?

My theory..

There's little profit in banning choice. In other words they seem to only legislate when it leads to financial gain. Either for a corporate constituent or their own campaign coffers.

They don't gain financially from banning choice. Therefore, the debate largely sat on the back burner from 00-06.

Don't get me wrong, many GOP'ers did want to push for overturning Roe vs Wade. But they were largely ignored by party leadership that favored a corporate only agenda.

Again, there's no profit in banning choice. Therefore it's not a front and center issue during legislative sessions.

It's only front and center during campaign season. To lure the antibot vote.


That said..

The GOP'ers that DO want to ban choice have an ultimate motive.

Banning choice in their minds will lead to banning what they view as the greatest evil of all.

Birth control.
