Abortion politics have changed so drastically that a GOP Senate candidate is saying he would vote to codify Roe into law

[Dulcinea]

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is airing an ad touting his position on abortion.

Hogan, a Republican, has said he supports codifying Roe into law.

His ad illustrates just how much the politics have changed on abortion rights since Roe reversal.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is betting big that he can mollify the tidal wave Republicans have faced in the wake of Roe v. Wade's reversal in his bid to help the GOP retake the Senate.

In his first general election ad published on Tuesday, Hogan publicized his previous promise to codify Roe v. Wade into law if he's elected this November. President Joe Biden and Democrats have tried unsuccessfully to restore nationwide abortion rights since the Supreme Court issued its landmark reversal of Roe in 2022.

1. Yet he would be giving the majority to a party that wants to throw you in jail for it

🧐

His single vote is practically worthless at that point.

5. Obviously republicans have some support for abortion rights.

Every anbortion rights amendment proposition has won in every red state that had it.

7. The GOP is not a monolith for sure

But the party has a strong hold so far on the agenda of letting women die at birth and throwing people in jail for abortions. This could be a rapidly changing facet of their party in the next few years, I hope.

9. I hope so too.

Once the 50 states figure out what they want to do then it would be time to bring all the states to the way California does it. It will take time but it will end up that way across the country.

2. Republicans have made their stand. We have ours. I don't believe a leopard changes its spots

For an election is very trustworthy.

3. They are relentless in their efforts to take away people's rights and ability

to be able to do anything about it.

4. So he doesn't think he can win with just GOP votes. Good

Tie him to EVERYTHING the GOP owns

6. Bullshit

No more GOPs

11. Marylander Here

I was out campaigning for Maryland to codify the right to reproductive freedom as far back as the 1990's. While I think that Hogan is personally pro-choice, he will caucus with the party that wants to take away that right. He'll still be a vote for the Josh Hawleys and Ted Cruzes that want to ban abortion. Will he go against his party?

Let's just elect Angela and not have to worry about that conversation!

12. Larry Hogan will do...

...what his Senate leader tells him to. Marylanders won't be fooled.
