Walker is taking the approach preferred by the anti-abortion advocates, embracing their rhetoric equating abortion to infanticide and attacking Warnock forthat would protect the right to terminate a pregnancy without legal restrictions. “Y’all heard him talk about how he would think it’s OK to kill a baby all the way up to nine months,” Walker said Tuesday at a campaign stop in Greensboro. “It is time for him to go.”The 2022 election, in which Democrats held control of the Senate and limited their House losses, sparked a rare point of political consensus among the warring sides: The issue of abortion is here to stay — in Georgia and beyond.
“The overturn of Roe v. Wade guarantees this issue will be in play forever,” SBA Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser, which has pledged over $1 million in the runoff to help Walker, told NBC News. “Before, it was theoretical. We had a lot of interesting debates; if you ever voted on a limit, it was never going to go into effect. Now, this is real — every single state and on the federal level, there’ll be a desire to get a consensus and pass it into law.
Dannenfelser said the election proves that downplaying abortion is a loser for the GOP: “Those who want to stay away from it are gonna get shellacked by the other side,” she said.
