Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

[Mister Agenda]

Codifying Roe v. Wade would have guaranteed a Republican majority in the next cycle to revoke it. Striking Roe v. Wade down may give Democrats a majority in the midterms and they'll have a mandate to codify it then as well as a chance to hold on to power long enough to make it stick.

It would not have guaranteed Republican majority. How do you figure that? Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe in Roe, and the vast majority of Democrats. Democrats have used abortion as a rallying cry for folks to vote for nearly 50 years! How is letting abortion rights be gutted before the midterms in Democrats' favor? If anything it will be the opposite.

Codifying Roe v. Wade would have been milked for all it was worth to maximize GQP turnout. It's not about who has the majority in the polls, it's about who shows up at the polls. I didn't believe we'd elect someone like Trump right after we elected someone like Obama; but the GQP was more motivated to turn out that year. Abortion hasn't been an effective rallying cry for Democrats because everyone thought abortion rights were protected by the courts.

The GQP has used abortion as a rallying cry for nearly 50 years that has been tremendously effective at getting them money and votes. Getting abortion rights gutted before the midterms actually makes it a MEANINGFUL rallying cry for Democrats, as well as Independents who don't favor abortion bans. If the GQP doesn't pay a price for this ruling, THAT will be a major failure on the part of Democrats.
