Make no mistake, I need a federal abortion ban. However we don't have 60 votes within the Senate to do this. And we gained't be doing that anytime quickly.
My level is to battle the battles you possibly can win now, so you possibly can win the battles you possibly can't win later.
I might additionally level out that if the Supreme Court docket overturns Roe v. Wade as a result of abortion is a “state's rights problem”, who’s to say that the Court docket wouldn’t overturn a federal ban for a similar motive?
Democrats view abortion as a dropping problem for Republicans. That is the one problem they’ll label as such. As a result of each dropping problem in America at this time falls on the toes of the Democrats. We want to verify we speak to them about their loser points, not the problems they need us to speak about.
