According to reports, the head of a super PAC
closely aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), recently presented
poll results that suggested voters are reacting differently to the terms
“pro-life” and “pro-choice” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision
that overturned Roe v. Wade. In a September 7 interview, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
stated: “What intrigued me the most about the results was that ‘pro-choice’ and
‘pro-life’ mean something different now, that people see being pro-life as
being against all abortions ... at all levels.”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO)
said the polling made it clear to him that more specificity is needed in
talking about abortion. Hawley said, “Many voters think [‘pro-life’] means
you’re for no exceptions in favor of abortion ever, ever, and ‘pro-choice’ now
can mean any number of things. So the conversation was mostly oriented around
how voters think of those labels, that they’ve shifted. So if you’re going to
talk about the issue, you need to be specific.”
The polling was recently
made available to senators by former McConnell aide Steven Law-- and showed
that “pro-life” no longer resonated with voters. This has already caused some
Republicans to conclude that a new term
is needed, especially in light of the GOP’s recent repeated Election Day losses
when “reproductive rights” were on the ballot.
Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) said that GOP members recently attended a
meeting in which they discussed “pro-baby policies,” a descriptor Young himself
suggested. Young noted that “pro-baby” was “just a term of my creation to
demonstrate my concern for babies.”
So “pro-life”
is no longer resonating with Americans? That may be the saddest statement I’ve ever
heard. We’ve reached a point where “Black Lives Matter” is sacrosanct, but “All
Lives Matter” and “Pro-Life” are considered sketchy at best? Unbelievable. What
the hell has happened to America…and Americans?
How long
will it take those of a bent mind leftist mindset to trash the term
“pro-baby,” Sen. Young? My bet is: not very. How is “pro-baby” better, more
inclusive, or less offensive than “pro-life?”
Pro-life,
pro-America, pro-God, pro-family, pro-competence, pro-cop, pro-founders, and
pro Second Amendment are all considered “problematic” or even “offensive” by
many on the left?!
In truth
this means they are not only effectively “anti” all these things, but anti-inclusive,
anti-hope, and anti-future.
