A sizable minority of voters believe that abortion is a Constitutional right that should have no or very minimal restrictions even though it's not mentioned in the Bill of Rights or Constitution. At the same time they deny that the 2A confers a right on citizens to own a semi-auto rifle and other firearms hated by the left and believe that the feds or the states can regulate or ban them as they see fit. A sizable minority of the American electorate are abysmally ignorant and a reason I don't believe in one purple haired woke feminist, one vote.

I don't think most GOP consultants or politicians know there base very well as they seem to think they must run hard on abortion restrictions so the base turns out in force but it's turning out Democrats in force instead.

As the GOP is the stupid party I doubt they will learn a painful lesson about pushing anti-abortion measures. They've been losing very winnable elections over their abortion stance. If they manage to sideline Trump the agenda will be abortion bans, tax cuts and more aid for Israel.

Republicans being against abortion may be part of their white guilt, i.e. attempting to facilitate the most black and brown babies in a short a time as possible to find redemption for their original sin. It's a similar conviction that the left has towards 'civil rights'.
