As Democrats hope to hang on for dear life in the November 8th Midterms, they are not budging on their obsession with the abortion issue. As Republicans focus on kitchen table issues, including crime, border security, and inflation, Democrats are trying to milk the abortion cow for all its got. Recently, Democrats have pounced on unproven attacks against GOP U.S. Senate nominee Herschel Walker of Georgia, claiming the pro-lifer paid for an abortion for an ex-girlfriend. Walker vehemently denies the claim and said he might sue The Daily Beast for running the “false” story.
The Hill reports:
“It’s clear that abortion is an issue that resonates with a sizable number of Americans, and it’s smart for Democrats to keep that issue at the top of voters’ minds as a way to drive turnout,” said Katie Grant Drew, a Democratic communications strategist. “And it’s remarkable that some Republicans are doing Democrats a favor and keeping abortion on the front burner by proposing legislation to ban abortion nationwide, which a majority of Americans oppose.”
The Daily Beast reported on Monday that Walker, who staunchly opposes abortion in any circumstance, urged a woman to abort a child the two conceived in 2009 and later reimbursed her $700 for the procedure. The Hill has not verified The Daily Beast’s report.
While Democrats are not addressing the Walker story head-on, the party is spotlighting the issue in races up and down the ballot across the country. Over the past month in Pennsylvania, Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman has hammered his GOP opponent Mehmet Oz for not saying whether he supports a national abortion ban.
And last month, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) targeted Nevada Republican Senate nominee Adam Laxalt in an ad over his abortion stance as part of its $8.4 million ad reservation in the state this fall.
Joe Biden recently cooked up false Catholic teachings, claiming the church “doesn’t even make that argument,” referring to abortion bans that do not include extremely rare exceptions for rape and incest.
Democratic strategist Michael Starr Hopkins hilarious opined that “Democrats shouldn’t back down or hedge one bit,” adding. “We are the party that believes in body autonomy and respecting a woman’s right to choose what they do with their body and their lives.”
However, the Democrat Party was the party forcing Americans to be jabbed with the COVID-19 inoculation — the very opposite of “bodily autonomy.”
