Democrats Intent on Making Abortion the “Pivotal Issue” of 2024 Election
“Millions of people are suffering under the brutality of MAGA abortion bans.”
As the Democratic Party prepares for the 2024 election, its strategists have made clear that among all the issues pressing upon everyday Americans, legal access to deadly abortion procedures will be its most important national issue.
The Hill reported this week that Democratic strategists have “vowed” to “make abortion their top issue on the campaign trail this year,” banking on Republican efforts to restrict or ban abortion to drive voters to the polls.
“This is the pivotal issue of 2024. It is the fight that will determine the trajectory of the next four years, and the next four decades,” Democratic House Whip Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) told reporters.
“Wherever we travel across the country, whoever we talk to, abortion is top of mind for our constituents and for voters,” she continued. “Millions of people are suffering under the brutality of MAGA abortion bans. And those in states that still have protected abortion access are scared of the GOP’s march to a national abortion ban.”
The Daily Wire notes that this messaging is consistent with that of President Joe Biden, who has blamed former President Donald Trump, the Republican party primary frontrunner, for restrictive abortion laws following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Ironically, although Trump has himself been critical of the Republican focus on anti-abortion legislation, he ran in 2016 with the promise of filling the Supreme Court with justices that would overturn the 1973 decision that effectively legalized abortion in the United States.
Meanwhile, Biden Democrats are being slammed for high cost of living, a crippling border crisis, and threats of entangling the United States with another conflict overseas.
