For 40 years, we heard Republicans say we have to vote for them to protect the unborn. This one issue has shifted countless Democrats to Republicans or to vote Republican. Now a lot of these people can finally look at the other issues and vote for the Democratic party. Please, lets not put Roe back on the table.
This election cycle, we should campaign for women’s rights such as making the pill and birth control legal and low cost nationwide along with IVF. Allow abortions for rape, incest, to protect the woman’s life and to protect her fertility health. But please lets not mention Roe except to say that it was overturned.
We should be respectful of people who are strongly against abortion and acknowledge this is an area where it’s very difficult to make a judgement call as to, at what stage of development and of what circumstances, if any, should the rights of a fetus to live, override the rights of the woman to not have the child.
Even though the Republicans dominated the Supreme Court with the passage of Roe and since, 17 to 7, Democrats have been called baby killers for 40 years. This has been a very powerful voting tool for Republicans. With Roe being overturned, millions of people now feel they can consider all issues and vote for the Democratic party.
Most people who want Roe completely restored are already voting for the Democratic party. We need to get people who want to vote for Democratic values but feel they can’t if they feel they would be complicit in killing babies as depicted on billboards. We need all voters. Please, let’s take smaller steps and not make Roe an issue this election cycle.
