Citing sources familiar with the matter, Rolling Stone reported that Trump has been telling allies that the issue of abortion could turn "suburban women" against him.

I think the real irony here is that he has become such a demagogue with the extreme nut-jobs that had he NOT stacked the court w/ anti-choicers, he may not have lost suburban women so badly AND not lost his die-hard MAGA followers. (They'll let him get away w/ ANYTHING.)
I don't think suburban women liked him all that much anyway, but this certainly DID make things worse for him.

They aren't the mindless MAGA base. They like their birth control and rights to abortion.
