    Well... when more than 60% of voters disapprove of overturning Roe... expect Democrats to make some inroads this year.

    I'll take the under on democrat inroads... at least on the abortion issue. I'm guessing it's a turnout election and won't repeat in November. And I base that on extremely little current research. :hide:

    so I guess we can all admit now that A LOT of Republicans don't really care about abortion.
    If it means Republicans won't get elected.

    "same as it ever was"

    It is interesting that so many "pro-life" republicans have the same basic mind set that Bill Maher has come to.

    Many may not but you don't seem to acknowledge the rightward movement on the issue.
