CNN contracted for an urgent poll of voters [Article Here] to gauge the anticipated enthusiasm bump that Democrats were expecting for the mid-term elections. [SEE POLL pdf HERE] However, unfortunately for the wide-eyed narrative engineers expecting the stratospheric shift in support…. the results show no one really cares. LOL
The results from the poll show despite about a 50/50 split in response to the question about have you heard of the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v Wade, there was almost no statistical change in voter opinion from prior polling.
More depressingly for the leftists in media, when it comes to enthusiasm about voting in the mid-terms because of this issue, the enthusiastic crowd is the pro-life happy people. The registered voters who would be grumpy or angry was 20%. The registered voters who would be happy or joyful was 38%. Whoops. But wait, it gets better….
When you compare the results of the internal questions to the last time they were asked, there’s no difference in response. This issue is such a predetermined opinion, that virtually nothing around it changes.
CNN has sad. See video below (prompted):

The net takeaway is a big nothingburger. No one cares. [See Poll pdf Here]
As the kids might say :
Dr. Oz is fake & ghey.
As SD might say OT
At least when Trump ran, abortion was off the table.
Dr Oz has the popularity to win in Pennsylvania despite the election fraud. That is what President Trump understands. We can’t win in the long-term with a candidate purity test. Oz is a thousand times better than a Democrat and everyone knows that!
I don’t know that. Will Oz really be any better? He could be another Romney or Murkowski.
Or Ilhan Omar.
He will be worse. Romney is a Mormon; Murakowski is a dingbat.
Oz is a member of a socio-political group, shall we say, that holds dear the notion of bringing destruction to Israel and death to America.
Want that as foreign and domestic policy? Vote Oz. That’s why he’s running.
You purists are entertaining. I recall when Al Frankin cheated his way to the senate, the right said he would destroy America, he would be the devil himself, he would have all this power.
In the end, his vote sucked but he did next to nothing that was predicted.
PA has always been home to squishy Republicans – run your purist , see how she does , she likely will do better than any before her but she won’t win the general
Thus loser strategy – you might win a single battle, but lose the war.
I’m with trump. He has earned our trust. Period.
I give you one word for PA – Toomey. A supposed rock ribbed conservative, he turned out to be as bad as Bob Casey Jr. May as well have voted for a Dim.
I’d love to know what happens to people when they win elective office to make them deny everything they said during the campaign.
I’m afraid Dr. Oz will make Pat Toomey look good!
Straight from a court case:
Campaign promises are political rhetoric. Campaign promises are meant to get you elected, not necessarily meant to be kept. INCLUDING free and fair elections..
What happens to them after they win? $$$$
Morgan ortagus
I get the argument against political purity. It’s an oxymoron. I think the problem lies, for me anyway, in the refusal to acknowledge that in most cases the “less pure” candidate we are asked to accept is usually just another filthy deceptive liberal democrat. Lets just be honest – in accepting Oz we’re really just saying , “Ok, we’ll accept a liberal. It just has to be OUR liberal”. If the non purist would be honest like that, we could all move away from our corners and toward each other better.
Keep in mind that Islam is anti-abortion. Pakistan has some if the toughest anti-abortion laws (along with a lot of our government “intelligence” thanks to Wasserman-Schultz and the Awan Brothers)
One-Issue voters can take note and change allegiance accordingly?
(Or alternatively, engage logic and convince unwilling parents that their children are actually welcome, regardless of skyrocketing murder statistics in many of
our communities.
Keep in mind that the probable murderer of Jessica Chambers, the man who is suspected of
literally burning Jessica alive and torturing another woman to death in Louisiana, was the *babysitter* of his fiancée’s toddler by another man… while the mom worked…
but on the other hand, promoting effective contraception, and supporting safe daycare for half-parented children is “so expensive”…)
At this specific time, a Republican snake/turncoat backstabber is far better than any Democrat.
A Democrat vote is a Democrat vote 100% of the time. The backstabber will at least have to pretend to be a Republican when trying to hide their snake like tendencies.
Sounds a lot like the arguments I heard from friends and coworkers during the height of the covidian racket : “ better to not lose your job, just take the jab”. “Better to just comply in the store/ restaurant than create a scene and get thrown out”
Its a “pragmatic” surrender but a surrender nonetheless. It came down to the wire too for those early men. “Give me liberty…… or give me death”. Are there still men like that today?
As a Pennsylvanian, I’m not sure; I’m afraid that Dr. Oz will make the outgoing Pat Toomey look like a rock ribbed conservative!
We can’t win in the long-term with RINOs. Nothing can be clearer than that. And Oz is the exact RINO equivalent of a radical democrat, if you review his history. Trump made a mistake. He’s human. I only hope the voters in PA ignore his mistake and vote for Barnette, who is a far better bet.
Posobiec has “brought the receipts” on Oz and they were enough for me to say no. He looks as conservative as Geraldo. Trump’s personnel decisions sometimes leave much to be desired.
The people around him are selling his endorsement.
ABSOLUTELY!
If GOP constituents knew this guy’s background, I see a lukewarm enthusiasm for voting for him, not unlike the enthusiasm I have to drum up in Ohioans to please vote for DeWine in November so the Democrat won’t win. Or like having to vote for Election Fraud Kemp so Abrams won’t win.
What happens after he wins?
Would he, as I strongly suspect, band with Tlaib, Omar, Brennan, and Ellisdon, others of like persuasion? Is he a loyal American or a Trojan Horse, riding into Washington on Trump’s endorsement, daytime TV chaisma, and taqqiya, telling us what he wants us to believe? Do we believe the lip service, or the performasnce of one who advocates what we are against (abortion, etc.) and service in the Turkish military?
Is it not better to run Kathy Barnette, and even if she loses, give her a political stake in the future, and send Oz back to Oprahland??
The Turkish thing is bothersome.
Sooner or later someone Trump endorses will loose . Just a statement of fact. It might as well be this time.
Who says that OZ has to win the primary ? It is in the hands of the voters.
Trump will understand and support the person the Pa. voters ultimately pick.
Show your independence guys. Everyone including Trump will respect you for it.
Now go campaign for and support the candidate you think should represent you in the senate and may the best man win.
Well said!
You don’t know that and Oz history on our issues is TERRIBLE
Yeah, and another WORTHLESS RINO then…..JUST what we need…..
No, everyone doesn’t know that. I’ve read quite a bit about this man and he doesn’t even qualify to run as a RINO, let alone as someone endorsed by Trump. Trying to confuse the issue by using the term “purity test” is just plain deceitful.
^This is why we lose.
“Dr.” Oz is a quack and a charlatan. Way back when he would have been referred to as a snake oil salesman.
He’s neither, as far as medicine is concerned.
Good grief – you all sound crazy. He entertained millions with a daily television show. Fact is, you have zero idea how he would vote.
Trump has every right to pick his own team. Predictions are like …well, weightless.
Protecting trumps record is going to get us far more wins in the long run than losses – JD Vance , Masters, et al.
Chip away at trumps Kong maker status and we all pay the price.
We need trump to continue as king maker – it scares the globalists to death
Listen to mitt Romney this week – that’s the sound of victory.
This is a thread about abortion polling, not Dr. Oz. Getting tired of the Oz trashing on here. He is a LOT better than Wall Street McCormick.
He is far, far worse than Barnette. Take a ride on the dark horse candidate!
Is this the de-rail the topic post?
BLM
Babies
Lives
Matter
Here’s a good one minute video on that, at a BLM rally.
WOW! Way to quiet a crowd who should know better, so called health care workers.
Man alive but that was powerful!
…. and any genuine electoral energy they might have gotten this summer when the races were really heating up, was just flushed down the toilet by agitating and activating their moonbat brigades too early with this leak….. most of the ‘crazy’ will have been bled off by the time it could actually make a difference.
Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?
When all they have is crazy, I’m sure there’s way more soon to follow.
Years ago I was camped on a beach in the middle of nowhere. One road in and a hundred miles of dirt North or South to nearest asphalt. Some guy pulls in with a rent a car out of San Diego, curious as to how it had gotten there in a street car, I asked which direction he came from. He said, from the south, it couldn’t possibly be worse to the north, that’s the way I’m going out. My response was something along the lines of, why would you think that? It was way worse going north.
So I ask, why would you think they will have, ” bled off all the crazy by the time it could make a difference?”
The ‘crazy’ will still be there and your point is taken, but they’ll need a new trigger mechanism to get the same effect.
Agreed, this one was a dud for them. I would posit that each dud only makes them more desperate and dangerous. I put nothing past these people.
Have you seen Col. Blacks you tube video? someone posted the link yesterday.
He said the Obama admin used starvation as a weapon in Syria. We are now seeing that put into play on a global scale. Most peoples minds couldn’t even begin to comprehend that people would be willing to do that, but these aren’t normal people.
Agree with you Clivus. If the official decision is released in the normal course, it’ll probably be June. ASSUMING a dozen states don’t ban abortions before November, that leaves 4-5 months for the crazies to realize the sky didn’t fall, Democrats lied to them, and the SCOTUS decision was actually not a “ban on abortion”. Dems will be anxious for Red State legislatures to pass abortion bans so they can keep up the crazy thru midterms. Hopefully, Red States will be strategic enough to wait until after November if they’re planning to pass more restrictive laws.
If the Democrats can characterize the Florida law as anti-gay when it’s about gender “education” in K-1 thru K-3, what makes you think they can’t persuade mindless Democrats & RINOs the Supreme Court is ending abortions & turning next to inter-racial or same sex marriages. Because CNN, MSNBC, et al., isn’t going to tell the truth.
Democrats don’t have to wait on red states to do squat. They will not & cannot stop with the “Supreme Court is banning abortions.” Just like they REFUSE to recognize when fetuses can feel pain, a heartbeat can be detected or how science has learned so much more info since Roe v. Wade.
Democrats always mis-characterize issues, policies, laws, that go against their ideology. It’s more difficult now with people turning off the MSM, CNN is dying, social media giants are losing money, everyday people aren’t reading newspapers, Twitter is being overtaken by Elon Musk, & Trump Social is rolling out, so the misinformation can be overcome. It used to be the controlled by newspapers and network news shows, not anymore.
In response, both Homeland Security and the Department of Justice are rolling out new disinformation agencies.
I understand the logic here. But what does that say about us morally? When political expediency in terms of ideal timing to benefit a political party trumps the urgency of protecting the life of the unborn as much and as soon as possible? If a political party requires that more unborn die to benefit it in elections, is that party really w0rth supporting? How is this not an evil no less than all the Democrat’s evils?
Most human beings don’t want to kill babies.
Who knew?!
They’re NOT babies. They’re like a wart, or a mole. Things you have removed. That’s how truly EVIL MONSTERS rationalize their murder.
Kenji-
“It’s only a clump of cells ” was one of the biggest lies of the last century!
Sonograms weren’t around then. That was when people with more than 2 brain cells…knew it was a lie!
Old geezers like Warren,Pelosi, Bernie,Hillary etc.–someone needs to sit them down…get them out of the Stone Age and explain modern technology to them!!
Along with a show and tell of the different methods of birth control!
The Democrat Party is relying on “women’s rights” to save them politically. Here is one link on the topic — USA Today, glenn Reynolds noting that it is Democrats who have been blockading birth control (just as they did with Ivermectin and HCQ recently)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/06/11/i-am-a-conservative-i-agree-with-aoc-on-over-the-counter-birth-control-column/1402941001/
(But count on some lamebrain from GOP to come forward and militate against — not just abortion, but contraception also! Abortion is a reliable splitter issue that keeps these jerks in their grift)
Here is “Gothamist”, an online NYC leftist site explaining how Hochul & Co. are hoping the abortion wedge issue will save their sorry incompetent posteriors https://gothamist.com/news/what-a-fight-for-abortion-rights-could-mean-for-hochul-and-new-york-democrats?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=nypr-email&utm_campaign=Gothamist%20Daily%20Newsletter&utm_term=https%3A%2F%2Fgothamist.com%2Fnews%2Fwhat-a-fight-for-abortion-rights-could-mean-for-hochul-and-new-york-democrats&utm_id=95991&sfmc_id=54658324&utm_content=202256&nypr_member=False
But can we count on One-issue voters to be — not “wise as serpents and as gentle as doves” but instead, furiously virtue-signalling, dunderheaded and compliant with McConnell’s schemes, as possible

Well, I can think of a lot more productive things to do with Warren, Pelosi et al than sit them down and explain modern technology to them, …
my thoughts run more to them STANDING somehow,…and then falling.
An observation this evening post-rally: I’ve seen more ads – cruising thru channels I usually watch – for birth-control. More than I’ve seen in the past 2 years, I’d say. Odd.
Well, Geraldo said on Thurs. during an argument in which he tried to shout over Gutfeld, “What do I tell my daughters” if “my body my choice” doesn’t include abortion?
My response is: tell them to understand their menstrual cycle & know when they’re “fertile;” tell them not to have sex with every male they come across, especially without SOMEONE using birth control; tell them not to use abortion as their birth control; abortion is not a right.
What in the world is wrong with using birth control? I don’t think birth control ads are a bad thing.
Geraldo is unhinged and insulting. Greg’s take was thoughtful and when he pushed back at the narcissist, he showed that he is exactly what he called Greg, a punk!
all theater
Gerald is nothing but a narcissist…
Tell them to accept the consequences of their actions. (Of course, they will throw back at you rape and incest examples, despite conceptions being very rare from that, though even here, it wasn’t the child’s fault/choice as to the circumstances of their conception).
They know. And they don’t care. They are evil and have no regard for life, only their own power.
I just can’t imagine large swaths of people not shifting towards voting Republican after how the Democrats have revealed themselves over the last few years. This is not an exageration, every left voting person I know has told me they are done with Democrats. These were pretty solidly blue people. The vaccines and the wokeness is what have driven them away.
The left screaming that vaccines were required for “the greater good” are now screaming “my body my choice”. They try to close their eyes to the blatant hypocrisy but I don’t think many people are buying it. The hypocrisy is just too obvious.
Yes. My body my choice only applies when Libt@rd DemocRATS are chopping up babies and selling their body parts for money.
These “people” are sick, domonic, monsters.
Which is why we must all throw that in their faces every chance we get. Hard.
The Dims didn’t leave enough time between vaccine mandates and the abortion furor. They think the average person has no memory. The hypocrisy is as plain as the nose on your face now, and that’s gonna be impossible to explain away.
Great to hear!!
Hence the urgent need for a Ministry of “Truth”
Yes, the Disinformation bureau announcement is a TELL.
They HAVE control of MSM, note how Tucker had C. Elbricht ON, but wasn’t allowed to mention 2000 mules.
The HAVE Control of Big Tech, even controlling search algorythms.
And yet, they have obviously concluded thats not enough; their nefarious plans are NOT working out, as they had planned.
Hence, they grasp for MORE Control, having no clue what their problem really is.
Fake anger from the demon rats has been going on for 50 years about abortion. Any moron falls for that still a moron.
YUP! Same ol’, same ol’ tired messaging.
As if this is more important than the economy stupid.
Same for end of the world because of global warming, global cooling, climate change etc.
As the pendulum swings…
Fauci is warming up in the bull pen.
PREPARE for the coming SURGE !!
Or another super-duper deadly Covid variant that needs multiple vaccines from Pfizer.
“the results show no one really cares.”
Oh, I’m sure there are 23-26% that are distraught.
The only funny thing here is the left declaring a war on having sex, only to be met with “oh thank goodness” retorts.
I saw a comment that it’s not withholding sex if no one wants to sleep with you 😂
if a tree falls in the forest and no one wants to hear about it . . . etc.
And yet, 80 million voted for Slo-Jo. Number and liars lie.
Hmmm…. those who believe in infanticide don’t reproduce?
To borrow from Martha Stewart: “that’s a good thing.”
And who really watches CNN?
CNN can’t win for losing. Loving every minute of it. 😂
The 1970’s called … and they want their single issue voters back
The conservatives should take every single issue pro-lifer they can get. If you get abortion wrong, you generally get many other issues wrong. Look at Collins and Murkowski.
I ll go even further….when the inevitable “peaceful protests” start and cities burn again you’ll see even more disbelief from state media CNN. They’ve already started attacking innocent church goers and vandalizing churches. The BLM/antifa brownshirt tactics used in 2020 wont work anymore. FJB.
Yes they will. The powers that be won’t step in to tone it down. Also, they have other arrows in their quiver. I don’t have a link but a conservative W Virginia candidate in the Senatorial primaries was disqualified by a liberal judge soon after early voting got underway. Ordered that any votes for her would be ignored, not counted. Judge said she didn’t meet residency requirements. Candidate did an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court which declined. So now, the liberals can get candidates disqualified just as voting starts. What do you want to be that D. Trump will be a target of that kind of tactic? Or any conservative candidate – especially one endorsed by Trump.
The last poll you wrote covered I got a kick out of the fact that they said, “this was taken before the Roe v Wade draft was published”. As if that was going to change everything.
I knew it wouldn’t. In fact, I think truly sane people are horrified by what they are seeing as the reaction to this possiblity from the insane, loony leftists. How badly they want to murder babies.
And the “my body, my choice” again b.s., after all they have put us through for the last 2++++++++ years. Give us a break.
And all of a sudden this is a “woman’s” right, when we are banned from saying “woman” and anything other than birthing person. Really?!
The veil has been lifted and the emperor and all of his minions are naked.
The most horrific part is that they support late term abortion, when the baby could survive outside of the mum.
Well, no. Not to me. Murder is murder, and cold blooded, premeditated, planned with an appointment, and preparations with equipment all layed out ahead of time murder is pretty damn horrific, regardless of how developed the baby is.
But thats just me,..
Worse yet some of the demoncrats are now advocating post birth abortions, better known as infanticide. The Romans were good at that. They’d leave their babies in the hill sides for the wolves.
And now you know why the Roman Empire fell. God always metes out His justice. Keep your family and friends close, prepare, pray and do your best to live your life with God in your hearts. It’s going to get ugly before it gets better.
It’s worse than that. They’re willing to support letting the baby die 30 days after he/she is born, which would include not feeding or giving fluids.
DeadTiredOfTheLeft and Bad Dog,
That’s incomprehensible and shocking that anyone could be so evil.
Satan is always deceiving and underfoot. Condemn him in the Holy Name of Jesus through His Almighty Father, constantly.
Who could do that? Let it cry until too exhausted? Could you just let someone desperate for a child adopt it?
To think that we are neighbors and co-workers with people who could do this.
So true TwoLaine.
In the last 50 years the hair on fire raging crackpot liberals have taken the “my body my choice, abortion should be safe, legal and rare” to the point where some extreme Dems are considering allowing “mothers” to kill their children after they are born.
They have put forth the idea that a woman might have the right to take the life of her new born child holding off that decision and giving the child the death sentence at a few days or even weeks after birth.
The idea that women can kill their children at will “just because” is astonishing and would never have even been mentioned in public 50 years ago but now it is being considered and people are horrified at the brutality and evil of these politicians and their supporters.
We seem to be to a point of many wanting to turn back a lot of things.
Richard Baris has polled it for years. It’s not the 90’s anymore. It’s 50/50, but Pro Choice loses more of its’ constituency than Pro Life does. Pro Lifers are steadfast in their beliefs, have the data to back it up and are confident in their position these days. The abortionists (aka the media/establishment that have no morals/ethics/etc. ) have to mislead/skew/fog the battlefield to stand a chance. The problem is they’re staring down economic Armageddon that they caused. And it’ll only get worse from here. How long until they switch to another topic to try and get the high of a 10-day bump? The only weapons near depletion these days are the nuclear-grade propaganda from the establishment.
I agree.
I expect they will go the route of moving the proxy war between Ukraine/Russia to the level of being “forced into doing the right thing and replying to Russia, Russia, Russia in the manner in which they ATTACKED Ukraine”..or something along those lines..
The cabal continues to move to a kinetic war with Russia; perhaps they will fail on this project also.
Hopefully they will fail on that project as well.
Does anyone ever wonder what the hell happened to children, and why the parents weren’t paying attention? These disgusting, weak, mentally ill people were all spawned by what exactly? Parents who just didn’t care? Do we really have that many lousy parents?
It’s the school system and colleges, which leads back to the parents that were lousy for not paying attention to what was going on all these years.
In fairness to parents, these ideas were slowly added to the curriculum. Most people mistakenly thought the schools were teaching what they learned in them decades earlier. Yes, it was laziness or being too busy with jobs to read the kids’ textbooks, etc.
“Do we really have that many lousy parents?”
Yes. A great many of these parents have the emotional maturity of children.
You must’ve met my neighbors.
I read somewhere that all of the “Aborted Children” who survived abortion chose not to be aborted.
My C Critter made a very valid point last night, back when he had kids ultrasound was fairly new that allowed you to see forms and shape images. These days ultrasounds have improved so much that you can actually see faces and see who the kid favors after, and offer up far more detail. His point was kids these days have grown up w/visual images and seeing images of a baby knowing it is going to be aborted turns them against abortion. I think he might be on to something.
That is good point. And good news.
What are your “feelings”, not thoughts. Always about feelings w/these people.
Exactly. Leftists are purely emotional creatures. They have no sense of reason, and think (and vote) purely based on their emotional reactions. IMO it’s the result of the over-feminization of society.
Poll results remain unchanged…
Like Biden’s diapers on the weekend 🙂
I know. I heard Jill is leaving for an extended trip overseas. YIKES!
She must not be his primary care giver then.
18USC1507 prohibits picketing or parading in front of the homes of Federal judges.
The US Marshals provide security for the SC judges.
So where are all the “nobody is above the law” officials and congressmen?
You know the law only applies to us and not to them.
I think if the current SCOTUS opinion stands we will be right back to 1973.
Leaving this open to the legislators is wrong… People also read that as “states” but that’s not what it means. Eventually the Democrats would ram abortion though.
Just as the Republicans would do the same in a juxtaposed fashion.
Which is why I don’t think you can constitutionally split the baby. Nor do I think the founders would have ever suggested even trying.
I think in the end you will eventually get back to the inevitable which is… Government has no place in enforcement of any options on this.
Many people believe that abortion is murder. Many people also believe murder is a capital crime. Government is required to prosecute and execute murderers. Thus, government must be involved in both preventing and prosecuting this crime.
Unless of course it is the government that is advocating for assassination of Putin?
Or “bomb them back to the Stone Age” or use of Agent Orange or nuclear weapons etc.
Probably better to focus more on individual ethics and less on government functionaries. The government powers will turn around and *compel* abortions as has been done in China, and with the “vaxx”. Get their long intrusive government noses out of your medical decisions
There is no Federal law against murder. Assasination of a Gov official IS a Federal crime, yes.
But your run of the mill murder,..no.
Because the States address it, and the Federal Govt has no motivation to try to pre-empt it.
But yes, if Abortion is murder, and I believe it is, the States have the authority and responsibility to outlaw it.
If a bank robber accidentally shoots a bank customer who is pregnant, and she and the baby die, they can be charged with TWO counts of felony murder; if the mother survives but not the baby, one count.
Hence, State laws already recognise killing an unborn baby is MURDER, and it doesn’t matter if the fetus is 3 days or 3 months old.
Rarely does a statement that can be explained as “I feel, therefore I believe” be founded on the side of the constitution.
At best it’s social democracy… Closer to a progressive nightmare.
This is one of those subjects that both sides fail on miserably.
Where’s Solomon when we need one? And don’t look to the Vatican and Frankie’s opinions, on anything.
Where are our founding principles and our constitutionalist when we need them? Where are our conservatives?
Many of our young people are so tuned out to politics and so tuned in to frivolous crap like video games.
Would not surprise me if they thought Roe vs Wade was a boxing match.
They have managed to digest plenty of hate if they received a full course of indoctrination from the US public school system though. For the not so bright ones, that’s the only thing they got out of it.
Spot on!
The illegals are very pro-life. I suspect they make up a big chunk of the respondents of these polls now.
Oh my!
Who knows what they will come up with next!
Obviously this is NOT what their Democrat playbook predicted…..what a bunch of morons.
I have a hard time understanding these left-wing activist types and their screaming emotions. Rather than losing their colective sh!t over these issues, it would seem to me a much more productive application of time and energy to focus their efforts on their individual state legislatures to codify into law that what they deem most valuable in this original roe-v-wade decision. The legality and potential restrictions might then vary from state to state, but that’s simply state’s rights. We had been a successful republic under that process before, maybe it’s high time we returned to it. I don’t see where the left leaning politicians are genuine in their position regarding abortion. I see it as an emotionally charged campaign issue that’s meant to remain permanent. So long as they can stand up and proclaim their support of the Roe court opinion the huddled masses of their constituency will put on their blinders and follow obediently, all the while ignoring all the toxic traits and baggage said politician carries. This is where Roe-v-Wade is most dangerous. It’s a pathway for self-serving politicians to gain office and assume a lucrative career of graft and corruption by simply waving one little flag in front of their followers. Remove the volatility of the issue where it’s a somewhat easily reversed opinion, make it a law carefully written within the bounds of the state’s Constitution such that it would survive a Supreme Court challenge, and the one trick pony meal ticket to electoral victory is lost to the slime-ball politicians forever.
Both “Pro-life” and “Pro-choice” politicians do as you describe; its one of a # of “Wedge” issues developed over the last 30 years, and exploited by both sides.
One such wedge issue just appeals to single issue voters, but when you can put together a package of such issues, Gun Control, Abortion, Immigration, etc. you, as a politician can get a lot of votes, either as a Dem or as a Rep.
The RINOS have done it to us, as well. And for years we fell for it; promise to protect my 2A, fight to restrict Abortion, lower taxes, shrink Federal buerocracy, and get my vote.
NOT any more. Now you need to call the 2020 election a Steal, seal the Border, ban mandates, speak for school choice, nationwide…and be able to define a Woman, without sounding foolish.
Hard for Rinos to fake it, which is why they are panicing.
You can never trust the polls on this issue generally. A good number of folks that claim they are pro-choice aren’t but have been conditioned to respond as pro-choice when on the phone with the surveyor, especially if the one asking is a woman. This issue is bogged down by the false virtue of being non-judging so a portion of respondents will not tell a stranger they want to ban abortions.
Few people respond to phone polls.
And sharing your views on contentious issues in public is a recipe for violent crazies coming to your door, even if you are not a Supreme Court Justice
God will not be mocked.
Of course she does… 🙄
It’s just not living with, but also “raising” their daughter, Soleil.
Pray for that child. Imagine the upbringing (indoctrination).
Brace yourselves – There were some UniParty establishment Republicans hoping for a bump for Democrats.
You know it
It’s not just that there’s no change in the polling. There’s also a lot of anger about the leak. And a lot of anger about the judges being threatened. Both now need to be corrected with people charged.
It’s not about a shift. It’s about how to explain all the illegal votes that come in
Who is undecided about this issue thats voting age? Right now, who is prioritizing this over the likelihood of hyperinflation, the possibility of famine, or the possibility of thermo nuclear war. Or any combination above! These yahoos have gone so far down so many holes people are looking to get off the ride before the ineptitude kills them.
This article, along with several stories detailing how the Dems are already, pre-emptively starting their “autopsy report” on why they are losing the midterms that haven’t happened, are of a piece.
They are explaining to themselves, that their problem is “messaging”, by which they mean there is nothing wrong with the MESSAGE, they just aren’t SELLING it well.
Oh, and “average Americans”are too stupid to understand it; seriously, this is what they are telling each other, to rationalise the bloodbath they will be taking, this Nov.
And, here we see CNN rushing a poll, with an expectation of what the results will be; that the SCOTUS leak story will MAGICALLY “bring back our Walkaways”.
Remember, these are the people that believe in Unicorn farts, electric cars for everyone, powered by the Sun, and Men who are Women.
They are not merely clueless, they are INSANE.
And they live in such a bubble, with the threat of ex-communication for ANYONE who varies from the approved narrative, they have no actual contact with REALITY.
They are not even acting out of “enlightened self-interest”, and their whole make believe World is crumbling down around them.
They are the Insane Idiots In Charge.
“Planned Bullyhood” by Karen Handel who had an inside look documents one of Planned Parenthood’s “success stories” — IMHO, that which Karen Handel saw is the way they operate: Planned Parenthood in conjunction with the DNC – with the help of the news media – her experience was in late 2011 through to February 2012 when she left Susan B. Komen –
that was all to help Obama in his reelection campaign – a very cynical use of abortion as an issue, coupled with “women’s health” when they are NOT truly about women’s health or that of their babies.
It’s a formula, a recipe, a playbook that they use – and interesting, in Mrs. Handel’s case, Karl Rove was even on the scene as a consultant advising the Komen organization to cave.
I think the same crew with the same playbook had hatched this leak scheme to launch an entirely new campaign –
maybe they even had it all in place, waiting for the right time to launch it – and normally, it SHOULD HAVE worked, especially with the use of “Social Media” – along with the usual help from the news media –
but it didn’t work.
Maybe this story will just go away and they will take down that fence.
I think they revealed themselves as capable of corrupting Supreme Court law clerks to violate oaths of secrecy in order to engineer their narrative in other directions. Once again. So a nothing burger, or, perhaps, another straw on the establishment camel’s aching back of credibility.
The poll was strange. The majority said they don’t want Roe overturned.
However, the generic preference was only R+1 two weeks but is now R+6.(after news of the draft leak). CNN usually wouldn’t do a poll so close together but figured this would help Dems so they did another one.
Apologies for the double post.
Without Donald Trump winning the Presidency, the very good chance of Roe being overturned would not be possible.
I think it’s also overlooked how many good judges he nominated at lower courts also. Something that will be immensely important for years to come. We have already seen this in recent weeks.
I can’t stand McConnell, but he deserves credit for blocking Garland, and confirming a record number of judges under Trump. The one area he was a positive.(a very important one though)
Another good way to gauge voter sentiment over this Roe V Wade potential overturn is to look at cable news ratings. This week CNN and MSNBC did not see any increase in ratings versus Fox which indicates that their viewers are just not worked up over this. CNN does not have one show in prime time that comes anywhere close to over a 1 million total viewers. During the start of the Ukraine war they got a few shows over the 1 million mark but interest in that story has quickly waned.
Below are the cable ratings from Thursday night. On Wednesday Tucker Carlson had more viewers in the demo (25-54) at 8:00PM than Anderson Cooper had total viewers at 9:00PM !
Gut feeling: the SCOTUS “leak” was intended to distract from:
militants“refugees” in the same bill.Synopsis: They’re scared! Whatever has shifted, our votes still matter.
I don’t think the leak was meant to change voters minds, it was meant to pressure SCOTUS.
You mean THREATEN SCOTUS.
Just like UpChuck did last year.
If he did nothing but ensure a straight up election in ’24, he’d be a Godsend over what they have now!
(And that goes for Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia, too!)
Since the leaked story and all the hub hub about this, all generated by the MSM, I already knew this was a big nothing burger because of the recent rulings on abortion have been pro life and most every day people aren’t interested in abortion rights. 50% of those polled weren’t aware of the “controversy.” All this is fomented by less than 1,000 persons and made to look like millions.

In these times with social media and Instagram, a really good movement requires video. Where is the video that captures the hearts of people to the point that the GF video did? Is one even possible? Finally, the GF political effect was based on someone with power killing someone without power. It was the perfect petri dish for growing a movement.
Is there “Women’s Lives Matter” theme to be built? With GF, it was a justice movement. With abortion it is a convenience
issue, not justice. It is mostly screaming White women that look crazy.
The poll is exactly as expected. Everyone that has two brain cells to rub together has found their position.
What is GF?
Yeah, I don’t come here to solve puzzles.

Something about these numbers are not adding up. For instance, in the first screen shot…that adds up to 58%. So you are telling me 42% of respondants have “no opinion’?
All of Congress should be made to watch actual abortions, in various stages and various methods, prior to voting on any abortion laws.
Furthermore, anyone seeking an abortion should be required to watch a video of the procedure- after having an ultrasound.
I wonder how many minds would be changed.
Yes. With their eyes taped open and their heads not allowed to turn away.
CNN?
What’s that?
They may have changed chiefs but the Indians still believe they are the “Clinton News Network”
Sundance watches CNN, so we don’t have to.
They are diligently working to gin up some outrage, or something to excite the masses. We are in a HOT war with Russia, folks.
The JoeBama team will bring out Antifa and BLM to start protesting and burning the cities so you won’t notice they’ve raped and pillaged our Constitution and destroyed our Bill of Rights. They are actively engaged in destroying the financial system so they will be able to “legally” take everything we have and leave us with nothing.
It’s all theater. The thing to do is start at your local school board and start taking your community back and educating people to ignore the puppeteers.
