So far, all that we have seen is a lot of hectoring, and some nibbling around the edges. That sort of thing tends to be popular.

If they actually implement this stuff (which we shouldn't for a moment allow), then it will be a different story. They don't actually show much eagerness to pass any legislation that may be unpopular.
If they actually succeed in restricting access to abortions or birth control, then I think the backlash will be swift.

My observation is that the repugs have been incredibly cagey (and dishonest). They tout their values program and do nothing about it (or the minimum), and hide their "economic" policies but push through a frightening pro-corporate agenda.
