Anti-Abortion Groups Are Extremely Pissed About the Election"We have a popular position. The biggest problem we have is a lack of leadership at the top, said one leader, completely missing the lesson.
Anti-abortion groups have taken a breath and now solemnly understand that their position is deeply unpopular, with a full two-thirds of Americans supporting legal abortion in all or most cases, and they are pivoting to advocating for things that actually help people, like universal healthcare, a higher minimum wage, and affordable childcare. Lol just kidding!
We have a popular position. The biggest problem we have is a lack of leadership at the top, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser said on a press call Wednesday.

A different anti-abortion group looked at the results in Wisconsinwhere voters re-elected Gov. Tony Evers (D) and prevented the state house from getting a veto-proof supermajorityand did not deduce that their position is a lost cause, but rather that they simply need to target young voters next time.
We had a historic amount of young people turning out to vote, and abortion was a driving factor for those young people, Gracie Skogman, spokesperson for Wisconsin Right to Life, told Politico. Unfortunately, for the pro-life movement, they dont share our position on life.
Notably, not everyone in the space is quite so delusional. Now that anti-abortion ballot measures have been defeated by voters in Kentucky this week and Kansas in August, one leader did recognize that these measures are a risk for their side. Politico wrote: Anti-abortion groups did not seem eager to put the issue to more statewide popular votes, with Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins calling it a risky tool, often used to pump up voter anxiety to get out the vote.

Then it would only move Planck scale air, which would be smaller than the atoms in it. All of which means we'd never hear it.
Sorry, I couldn't resist going full physics geek!

Just like trump won't believe that he lost because he thinks everybody loves him. They don't.

(82,849 posts)You've made women into second class citizens, shackled by your narrow-minded belief system, and you're just now starting to find out that your position is poison to a free people. The Dobbs decision will become a millstone around your neck, and you will weep bitter tears every year on its anniversary as you see free women making their own choices about their health care, protected by law from the likes of you.

They have a pretty good history of lies and deceit, now. And we have that Alito document citing folks that executed women for "witchcraft."
Keep hanging that shit around their necks.

Without overturning Roe this would have been a blood bath.

(5,022 posts)I'm totally OK with them believing this. Let them push people to be louder and more vocal about being anti-abortion. Let them force Republicans to publicly state their plans to ban abortion as hard as possible. That will simply help us win more elections!
