Republicans are rushing back to the drawing board for a winning message on abortion after the post-Roe scoreboard favored Democrats at the ballot box.
Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz’s 11-point drubbing of conservative Daniel Kelly in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court election on April 4 is the latest example of how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade has strengthened the hand of Democrats. They are running unapologetically on an abortion-rights message, raking in gobs of campaign cash with a newly impassioned pro-choice battle cry and winning.
“When the pro-life movement is messaging on protecting children, they are winning,” Mr. Carpenter said. “We have to humanize the child in the womb and inform voters what is at stake here.” Republicans are sorting through the setbacks and working to strike a balance between catering to their loyal pro-life base without alienating other voters. That is proving to be a hard sell with voters who for over 50 years were accustomed to abortion being a constitutional right.
The challenge for Republican candidates is that the abortion debate often is framed as an all-or-nothing choice.
