The recent vote in Ohio is just one of a string of cases where voters show they mostly support abortion access to some extent (1). Polls show the same. (2) So why do Republicans (specifically Republican politicians, not necessarily Republican voters) keep trying to do something unpopular?

My (perhaps cynical) view of Republican politicians is that they’re the “do anything to win” party. They would take any stance and pull any trick if it would give them a better chance of winning. So why are they so stuck on a losing issue?

    Btw, there’s nothing to debate about whether or not the front running republican presidential candidate is a felon or not.

    The evidence is overwhelming and some of the most damning is public. Grand juries have just a 1% non-conviction rate.

    You will be aligning with a fascist party who seeks to elect a seditious FELON for president. Those are your people.
