GOPers Seek New Word For ‘Pro-Life’ After Electoral Losses
Republicans are starting to learn that women care about body autonomy, but instead of listening, they're refusing to change. The choice for women to have an abortion or not is very popular. Last year in deep-red Kansas, voters said no to a constitutional amendment allowing an abortion ban. Again, Republicans aren't listening and decided to find a new term for "pro-life" so they don't endure more election losses.
NBC News reports:
At a closed-door meeting of Senate Republicans this week, the head of a super PAC closely aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., presented poll results that suggested voters are reacting differently to commonly used terms like "pro-life" and "pro-choice" in the wake of last year's Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, said several senators who were in the room.
The polling, which NBC News has not independently reviewed, was made available to senators Wednesday by former McConnell aide Steven Law and showed that "pro-life" no longer resonated with voters.
"What intrigued me the most about the results was that 'pro-choice' and 'pro-life' means something different now, that people see being pro-life as being against all abortions ... at all levels," Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said in an interview Thursday.
