Republicans know banning abortions is a losing issue for them but they can’t stop doing it (yesterday’s decision out of Georgia). I think this is a harbinger of things to come, a movement against the morning after pill, birth control pills and once republicans are done with that, they’ll come for no fault divorce.
The question is why, why are republicans willing to lose on taking away women’s rights?

Ultimately I think the answer is the right is so tied to far right religious zealots and evangelicals they can no longer unentangled themselves long enough to shift their message
Do republicans want to take away more rights from women? Absolutely

Is that a winning electoral strategy? No

Trumpworld has worked the refs so well that you have people who think a criminal conviction will help Trump.

This is preposterous
Swing voters and lower information voters are not going to be “won over” by the fact that a jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to hide pay offs to the adult film star he cheated on his third wife with. Did I mention this was right after the birth of his 5th child?
Could Trump still win?

Absolutely

Does a criminal conviction help Trump?

No.

I remember when Texas bill SB8 passed almost a year before the Dobbs decision, that women like Kate cox would be denied life saving medical care in the name of “life.” I take no pleasure in being right. The case of Kate cox proves definitively that abortion is healthcare.
Republican politicians have made it clear that they think they know more than doctors when it comes to women’s healthcare

You may not realize it, but the Republican primary is still happening. The third GOP debate takes place Wednesday night; five candidates will be onstage, despite having no chance at the nomination, with almost all of them polling nationally …

Ron DeSantis—the brief obsession of tech bros and the one candidate who might have been the political heir to Donald Trump—has badly stumbled, with a veteran strategist telling Politico in September that the governor’s campaign was “on life support.”
