EVEN AFTER SUFFERING multiple state-wide losses on the issue, the Republican Party is not backing down on abortion, party chair Ronna McDaniel said.
“I’m proud to be a pro-life party, but we can win on this message,” McDaniel said on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “The American people are where we are, and they want common sense limitations. They want more access to adoption. We want to make sure that there’s pregnancy crisis centers. These are things we can win on.”

Republicans also like to make it very hard for certain people to adopt.

I think she means common sense limitations on another thing they are for…
What’s wild is that she became chair in 2017 and the republicans haven’t won since then
Not to burst bubbles, but 2022 saw them take the House back. What they’ve done with it 🤷♂️ But it’s still a win.
If you are supposed to win 30 plus house seats and only get 9 and are gonna take control of the senate but you lose a extra seat giving democrats the majority I think I would consider that losing. I think it’s worse because historically Republicans should have won the house and senate no problem but got absolutely destroyed.
Yes, but they won far fewer seats than they were projected to. They should have had something like a 30 seat majority, but currently only have 9. A sane party would have looked at that as a warning sign, but…
And this is despite severe gerrymandering.

She can keep winning like that as long as she pleases then.
Alternative victory
Am I out of touch?
No, it’s the electorate that is wrong!Anybody else catch this opinion article The Hill posted the other day? Truly fucking incredible how Republicans will lie right to our faces about what their stances are on abortion.
First it was “states rights”, which was immediately followed by “time for a nationwide ban” after Dobbs. When it actually came time for states rights on abortion, it was immediately followed by “we’re gonna do everything we can to stop this” when they lost on it. Now they want to try to downplay what they really mean by “abortion restrictions” when everyone can plainly see their actions belie their words. They really think we’re fucking dumb, don’t they?
Well, to be fair…
A lot of the people that reliably vote for them are (willfully) fucking dumb.
When you’ve built your “platform” on the basis that the people who vote for you are just going to take whatever you say at face value, you might be surprised that only a minority of people work that way.
Wow, that op-ed is something.
Simply put, most Republicans are moving toward where the majority of Americans are, wanting abortion to be legal but limited to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. For proof, look no further than the stance of former president Donald Trump, who is leading the GOP primary race by a wide margin; he has called Florida’s six-week abortion ban “terrible” and is pushing back against a nationwide law outlawing the procedure.
So, wait, who put that 6 week ban up in the first place? I’m guessing not Democrats.
Double down, bro.
I’m honestly so glad to hear this. GOP is only digging Their own grave with this. Let them go hard. Let them loudly label every R with pro-life. They’ve lost almost every election local and National with that and they will keep on losing.
At this rate the only party they will have left will be their own farewell party.
We can only hope
go for it. you doubledown that shit. doubledown it till it respects your authoritoh.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that she’s got five adopted kids. At least one with special needs.
Is there a PunchableFaces community?
