How the overturning of Roe v. Wade is shifting Republicans' abortion views

Abortion access is one of the most popular policy positions for Democrats, and Republicans are well aware of it. A recent edition of The Washington Post's "Early Brief" newsletter explores how the overturning of Roe v. Wade two years ago is changing the positions of some GOP lawmakers this election cycle. Co-author Leigh Ann Caldwell joins to discuss.

Opportunism is alive and well in MAGA--as always. Have their positions changed but not their core values? Doubt it.

Abortions and Contraceptives should always be available to all women at a very reasonable and affordable price and The Choice should always be Hers and Hers Alone with No Exceptions Whatsoever! Period.

I wish this procedure would not happen. I wish women would take intercourse more seriously and not just be taken by passions that bring about consequences.

Intercourse, consequences.

Why not put measures in between intercourse and consequences. Take measures to prep your body to block the consequences of intercourse.

This would avoid reckless contraceptive: like very late term abortion. The cruelty of exiting a fetus forcefully and out of the host at a point when the fetus can live outside the body is beyond cruelty.

There’s been over 63million abortions. Not all were grape or inc-es-t. Plan your life before having intercourse women.

Unfortunately bc some women are proud when told what to do with unborn babies trapped in their body, the government has to bend to these reckless individuals who use abortion as a contraceptive and make this terrible option an option. To these individuals know there are ppl who are advocating for the life you hold within you. There are options other than this method of reckless contraceptive.

The best one is no sex til marriage, next best followed by plan for the right person to engage in these unions who is willing to do right by you and your child if a pregnancy is a result of your unions.

Protection protection protection even before you engage. Think of intercourse like you are signing up to have a child… bc that’s exactly what happens when these unions happen. The body goes into baby making mode.

If you find yourself with an unplanned pregnancy, accept what you and whoever have done, deal with it today; don’t wait - immediately seek help if this baby news is a crisis for you. I hope you would keep it, if not give him/her up for adoption (they will thank you), but do not be that person cruel to wait when that baby is fully formed and can live outside the host to get that contraceptive procedure all bc you are a stubborn host that says her body is hers.

It’s not the end of the world to be pregnant with a baby. Many of us have gone through unplanned pregnancies. My son is the best thing that could have ever happened to me and this world, by the way. He’s perfect.

God help us bc we allow this procedure. It’s no wonder why America is failing as a country, like a curse with radical Joe/Kamala policies and a divided America.

I get why Jesus said ‘render to Ceaser what’s Ceasers and render to God what’s Gods’. Presidents represent a stubborn ppl in a government and have to render to it what it demands with as much percentage that they could to what God meant for good: live babies and this procedure is clearly not that.

This doesn’t mean that God will not judge those that do not repent of this procedure, that He will not judge the land where this procedure takes place.
