Can any group really be this obtuse?
Throughout 2024, Americans had a simple and straightforward message for politicians. They were deeply unhappy with the economy. So the Democrats decided to run on abortion.
Granted it had worked to some degree in the 2022 midterm elections, but it’s easier to shift a midterm election from actual national priorities based on a single issue voter obsession.
Incredibly the Dems are still baffled as to why the country didn’t turn out for abortion.
“We hammered on it over and over again at all levels,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris and spoke about her own abortion to drive home the stakes of the election. “Apparently this issue was not as important to a wide segment of the American electorate as we thought it was, or that we hoped it was.”
Who could have seen that coming?
Abortion-rights activists say it’s imperative they figure out what went wrong in the wake of their worst setback since the fall of Roe two years ago
What went wrong was that they ran on an issue that most voters rated as marginal. Democrats huffed polls claiming that abortion was a top election issue for women under 30. Maybe. But a Gallup poll showed abortion in 9th place behind gun policy overall.
Democrats had been frantically hyping abortion and warning of mass deaths, but the reality on the ground was that little had changed except that those who wanted abortions had to travel out of state. The fall of Roe v. Wade had no significant impact on the number of abortions in America to the dismay of those on both sides of the issue. The Kamala campaign kept pushing the abortion button, but the swing voters they needed had already seen that nothing had changed on abortion.
And the women under 30 obsessed with abortion? They were going to vote for Kamala anyway.
Of course, the conclusion on the abortion side is that Kamala didn’t go far enough.
They are critical of Harris and most state ballot initiatives for promoting a return to Roe v. Wade’s standard of protecting abortion only to the point of fetal viability, around 22 weeks, rather than pushing for abortion to be legal at any point in pregnancy.
“They moderated their messages and chose the message that would align closest to the middle,” said Bonyen Lee-Gilmore, the vice president of communications for the National Institute of Reproductive Health. “But what we see in the data is that the progressive base wants a clean, simplified rights structure that removes government from pregnancy decisions, full stop.”
If only Kamala had gone publicly all in on abortion until the moment of birth, they would have won.
Why are the Demoncrats so keen on killing babies? I’ve never understood that. What’s next…..eating them??????
They’re already selling body parts removed from the bodies, ghoulish as that sounds, so nothing would be beyond them if they’re as evil as that.
The answer to your question is rather long and involved, but basically, being abortion extremists aids their war on the family, the family being an important bulwark against the state. The Left wants sex without consequences and with as little emotional involvement as possible as opposed to stable, loving families. The pseudo-right of abortion also allows them to pose as defenders of individual rights while they work towards the abrogation of all genuine freedom.
You might want to read an article Jamie Glazov wrote a few years ago explaining Islam’s war on Valentine’s Day. The connection may not be obvious at first because Islam does not allow abortion, but like all movements of the Left it wants to control sexual relations and the family. Rather than destroy the family or the church, the Western (secular) Left’s approach, Islam co-opts them into its service.
I don’t have a link for you but the article must be archived somewhere on the site. You can click on the various authors and search, or try a search engine limiting the search to the FPM site.
You can’t discount anything in regard to those Moloch worshipers.

The only way to rid the Soros Knotzee Party from America is through National Voter ID .
National Voter ID NOW !!!
“Abortion until the moment of birth” might as well read “Abortion until the moment after birth.” What’s the difference?
Some of those Michigan politicians are into witchcraft (seriously).
The actual percentage of voters in favor such abortions seems to be fairly small, but some of them are fanatical, perhaps the most fanatical group.
Michigan sucks. I’ve been there. It was all Dark town and Islam Central. The peninsula is nice but those people are lucky because they don’t have to live near the assholes in the rest of the state. They’re pretty isolated up there. We’re talking Canada far north. I watch Steve Gruber on TV and wonder how he puts up with those bung-hole sniffers. I keep expecting him to go on a shooting spree.
I though they quit Whining when the grew up It looks like they did grow up but still whine all the time
I have a bit of a different approach. I would make abortions MANDATORY for any Democrat beginning in the 54th trimester. If, beginning at the 54th trimester, the fetus were to sign a Democrat party voter registration card, it’s apparent that there is no viable cogent life, and should be immediately terminated. There isn’t a downside, and it will save countless babies lives.
When contemplating the issue of abortion, it seems a though a major consideration is often overlooked.
One side constantly argues in favor of the so-called, “right to choose.” The other side argues in favor of “right to life,” and often from a religious perspective.
Yet there is a third consideration:
The whole basis upon which this great nation was founded is the concept of natural law-natural rights. We see that concept on full display in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence, as example.
Yet, with the “right to choose,” one person has arbitrary power to end the life of another, one who is destined to be born, but for an act of God and tragically, of man.
That completely undermines natural law-natural rights.
Ergo, it completely undermines the American understanding of liberty.
And that is precisely why the Left is so adamant about the “right to choose.”
I recently had a back and forth in the comments section with a woman from Seattle who was VERY pro-choice/abortion, and was enraged at the idea of abortion returning to the individual states. I told her that I was not in favor of completely banning the practice, and that all that had changed was that some women might have to travel out of state, and then I asked if she personally believed in any kind of limitation–would she be OK with vacuuming out a kid’s brains as it was crowning? She simply would not answer my question. When I said she was avoiding the ethics issue, she kind of exploded and said, essentially, that all ethics are “temporal,” and that things that were considered unethical sixty years ago are fine now, and that I was the kind of person who would have denied black people their rights in the past, which was a real bait and switch tactic, and I responded that she still was not answering my question. She never did.
