Republicans have been suffering on the issue of abortion already, losing several special elections to Democrats pushing the issue. It’s a no-brainer. Democrats have turned the Supreme Court decision on Roe to their advantage every chance they’ve gotten. And why not?

With restrictions on abortion on the ballot in states both red and blue across the nation, emphasizing a woman’s right to control her own body has been a winner every time Democrats have pushed it.
The Alabama IVF decision is cream in the coffee of Democrats running for office everywhere. The state’s Supreme Court, in a ruling one judge joined with a concurrence dripping with references to Bible verses and Christian theologians, found that embryos, even frozen embryos, are legally “children” and thus subject to laws forbidding abuse and murder if they are accidentally or purposefully destroyed.
