The 2023 elections show Republicans still don't know how to talk about abortion. (Never mind the fact that abortion rights advocates have now won seven times when abortion has explicitly been on the ballot.) "If pro-life Republicans want to actually save lives, they have to learn to LISTEN TO WOMEN and talk about abortion AND contraception." As Vance described, many Republicans abandoned their decades-long commitment to traditional exceptions to abortion bans in the cases of rape, incest, or the mother's health. "As much as I'm pro-life, I don't judge anyone for being pro-choice, and I don't want them to judge me for being pro-life," Haley said.

☆ Voters are more worried than ever about the economy — and they think Republicans can fix it
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A new New York Times/Siena College poll finds voters are overwhelmingly concerned about the economy. Voters who are most worried about the economy are also leaning Republican ahead of the midterms. According to the Times, 44% of the likely voters answered that "economic concerns were the most important issues facing America." But the Times poll also shows that dour views on the economy may spell trouble for Democrats and wins for Republicans. The voters they surveyed who were the most worried about the economy also "overwhelmingly" leaned Republican.
