This week the poo-flinging monkeys want you to think the Dobbs draft decision leak that would topple Roe v. Wade is a needle-mover. The idiot media is on it like Biden on a 12-year-old, and they want everyone to think this is a mid-term election game-changer.
But is it?
The lib’s favorite pet cafes have waiting lists, and the crying rooms are full. And you can hear the twigs snapping and snowflakes melting (whatever that sounds like) as they echo off the inside of the Left’s blue bubble.
Add to that the Sturm and Drang of the professional pot-stirrers in the media working their narrative cauldrons, and the perception is that outrage is rising from sea to rising sea, but it’s not.
Polling tells us that most Americans have no idea why we should overturn Roe (it has nothing to do with abortion). They think abortion should be legal (again, having nothing to do with Roe), but they also agree that while legal, it should come with limits. Big ones.
Fifty-four percent polled would be OK with an abortion ban after 15 weeks, while 50 percent think six weeks is long enough.
In contrast, New Hampshire, where Governor Chris Sununu would happily rubber-stamp terminating preborn babies at any “week,” stops the practice (with exceptions) after 24 weeks. For “graduates” of Everyday Math and its Red-Headed Common Core offspring, that’s six months. SIX MONTHS. And our local poo-flinging narrative monkeys can’t shut up about how this is an offense to human rights, the dignity of women (whatever those are), and reproductive freedom, which translates “loosely” to sex without consequence or, as I like to call it, freedom from reproduction.
But most Americans would prohibit the practice sooner, so is the Sturm and Drang going to backfire? We talked about it on GrokTALK! and Mike summed it up nicely. He said Democrats are “weaponizing all the wrong stuff.”
Over at Hot Air, they’ve got a great quote (snagged from Politico) that apes that from a Democrat strategist.
“Midterm voters care about affordability first and foremost, and they are not people who are worried every single day about losing access to abortion,” said Julie Roginsky, a Democratic strategist who began her career as a researcher at the abortion rights group EMILY’s List. “My fear continues to be that sometimes we as Democrats run on things that we wish the voters cared about, rather than what the voters do care about.”
Sometimes? Okay, we’ll let them pass for now, but most folks won’t. Abortion doesn’t make food cost less or energy prices go down. In fact, given the Left’s obsession, it costs more when they demand tax dollars to pay for it. Money people don’t have that will get laundered back into Left-Wing political campaigns.
And that’s why the Left opposes abstinence education and adoption and was never all that serious about contraception (unless it came from the rose-colored candy dish at the local abortion mill). It doesn’t make them any money.
And they don’t care at all what abortion does to the girls and women (whatever those are), and if the “ladies” (the ones with a uterus) figure that out, it might be the end of abortion as a get out the vote and campaign finance laundromat for the Left.
That is what matters to Democrats. And after the Dobbs draft leak, their fundraising needle barely moved.
That’s not going to stop the antics, but it doesn’t appear to have the legs they’d hoped, crossed or otherwise, and won’t carry them to November. They need something else, but with Biden and Harris pulling the sh!t wagon, they’ll need another pandemic (or something like it) to survive the predicted red wave.
Not that Republicans in DC have a clue what to do with the majority, but we have to hope, or we’ll be watching a plurality of “our” fifteen Supreme Court Justices rubber-stamp government-funded “abortions” (depending on circumstances) up to 3,848 weeks.
That’s how they do it in China, and we all know how much Democrats love China.
