Moreover, as the Daily Wire noted, Democrat candidates are scared to declare any limits on abortions at all for fear of angering the radical base.<\/p>\n<p>If I were to guess, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that Democrats would drop the abortion issue, they would change the ultimate consequence of abortion being restricted.<\/p>\n<p>You can already see something like this happening when Chicago\u2019s Mayor Lori Lightfoot declared that Republicans would stop at abortion, they\u2019d come for the LGBT community next, and then encouraged people to take up arms.<\/p>\n<p>(READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2022\/05\/10\/lori-lightfoot-appears-to-push-for-violent-insurrection-with-dangerous-call-to-arms-n562358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lori Lightfoot Appears to Push for Violent Insurrection With Dangerous \u2018Call to Arms\u2019<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Intersectionalism will be the next play here. They will tell voters that they\u2019re on a slippery slope and that if Republicans can just take away abortion then what else is next? No more rights for the LGBT community as Lightfoot suggested? They will frame abortion as a right (as they have been) and ask women what other rights they can restrict. Minority communities will be most affected, they\u2019ll say, ask what kind of hardships the Republicans will make them endure.<\/p>\n<p>If abortion can\u2019t carry the torch alone, my guess is that they\u2019ll attempt to make the picture much bigger for voters. It wouldn\u2019t do to just simply drop it as they do with other things as doing so might endanger the loyalty of the base, so they\u2019ll likely treat it as a foundation to build an anti-Republican case on.<\/p>\n<p>The question is if the people won\u2019t buy this, will they buy the deluxe version? My guess is not.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are just going to have to live with the fact that they\u2019ve shot themselves in the foot too many times to have anything to stand on, at least when it comes to midterms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats are set to take another \u201cL.\u201d As it turns out, the hope they had that the abortion issue would take negative attention off themselves and rally their base was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":489,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1472411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1472411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1472411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1472411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1472411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1472411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1472411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
