Kellyanne Conway thinks Republicans can win back women in 2024 by saying, “We took away your abortion rights, but we’re letting you keep contraception”
A real slogan for the ages.
Something you’ve probably heard by now is that the Republican Party’s decision to decimate reproductive rights—and celebrate the overturning of Roe v. Wade like it was the greatest thing to ever happen to America—has not gone over great with voters. The 2022 midterm elections, which were supposed to be a red tsunami for the GOP, were anything but: Democrats picked up a seat in the Senate and Republicans just barely took back the House, with voters in critical states citing abortion as the most important issue of the day. A year later, the right to an abortion was enshrined in Ohio’s state constitution; Kentucky voters reelected pro-choice governor Andy Beshear; and Democrats took control of Virginia’s state legislature, preventing the GOP governor from limiting abortion moving forward, which he’d planned to do. The results were unambiguous: The American people want abortion rights.
Now, with the 2024 election less than a year away, what are Republicans running for higher office to do? According to GOP strategist and Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, the answer is simple: make their campaign slogan something like, “Yeah, we took away your reproductive rights, but, hey, we’re letting you keep contraception, and that’s something!”

How are there enough Americans supporting these facists that they feel comfortable saying shit like this?
I don't think I want to live here anymore.
There aren't. Supreme Court is compromised, the fifth circuit is compromised. Gerrymandering and other nonsense that weakens our democratic ability to vote.
We could make so many changes from one person one vote to ranked voting to ending the two political party dominance and we'd see these people disappear overnight.
But they have the money and the friends to prevent that from happening
And if we had a simple popular vote for president, majority could not be terrorized by minority cult, because they would have veto power over insane legislation. But y'know... "if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle."
My dad was military, pro constitution (even though he's said multiple times that the right to bare arms was written into the deceleration of independence) and has said he needs to fight the woke left to protect America. I pointed out how republican states are banning books, going against the 1st ammendment. His response was "some times you need to take away people's rights for their own good." It would be hilarious if it weren't so scary how the right is willing to sell out every ounce of morality just to win.
“some times you need to take away people’s rights for their own good.”
Sounds like something he'd imagine Stalin might've said.
Dark money insulates them from the consequences of their words and actions.
Be about 30 immigrants willing to replace anyone who wants to leave. My plan is simple: as of now my family can legally flee, thanks to my wife's duel citizenship and right to return rules for descendents in her country. I will remain and stick it out no matter how bad it gets.
