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”
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!”
Translation: get over that we're taking away your rights. We'll give you some privilege we can take back whenever we want to in exchange for your votes for long enough for us to take away voting rights and then we won't have to offer you shit
Look, sure the Republicans lied about wanting to ban abortions in the case of rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Sure, they lied about not wanting a national ban. And sure they lied about not wanting to prosecute women. But you can totally trust that they aren't lying this time! Ignore the hand behind their back. They aren't crossing their fingers. They promise!!!
I am still "debating " with an idiot conservative, that claims that both sides are bad, but heck, I am still waiting to see the democrats removing rights from the population.
I'm sorry, isn't kellyanne Conway the one who abused the shit out of her daughter and used her political position to brush it under the rug? I don't think I'd like to take parenting advice from an abusive parent, but that may just be me
They don't need to "win back" women. The conservative voting bloc lost very few votes due to women switching their vote from republican to democrat after Roe fell. It caused a small surge of new women voters.
Trump is currently leading the polls against Biden. I feel like people don't understand this. The Republicans need to do very little to keep their current level of power. What Conway is talking about is EXPANDING their vote advantage.
These articles that make it seem like they're losing are just idiotic. They're winning and Roe didn't make a big enough difference to change that. We all need to grok that fact.
Okay, so did she actually say that? Because this author is using quotes a lot and I think they don’t understand “air quotes” aren’t actual real quotes.
It honestly doesn't matter what they choose to say because nobody will believe them anyway. And not that this will persuade voters in the near future, but maybe they should try writing contraception rights into the constitution. That would at least be a good start.
Kinda funny coming from someone who got divorced last year because her husband couldn’t stand her, and issued Twitter burns on her and her cohorts on a regular basis.
Even her daughter started up with the burns against her. Read your own family, much less the room.
