"What About the ELECTION??" They Asked

The Swamp is composed of BOTH parties.

...One Republican operative told Axios that the end of Roe could “derail what could be a 2010-level victory next year for the party and the movement." That year, Republicans gained 63 House seats in the first midterm election of Barack Obama’s presidency....

To many of the professional politician class, it's all about re-election and to Hell with those babies.

 ...Roe has allowed Republicans to run for Congress, governor or even president as opponents of legal abortion without being able to do much to influence policy on the issue because the Supreme Court had taken it out of the purview of the democratically elected branches of government.

Without Roe, Republicans would be in a position to potentially outlaw abortion, especially in red states. This comes as the party is starting to win back some of the suburbanites who started voting for Democrats under former President Donald Trump....

Ahhhhh!!  The old "suburban women" ploy!!  Certain Republicans will be pounding that drum up and down the streets of Waukesha while mourning the deaths at the Christmas parade.  See, some deaths are more politically useful than others.

Short version:  dead babies don't vote.  

(By the way, this encapsulates one of the reasons that Trump was taken out.  Trump DID stuff.  Politicians, however, get re-elected by promising to do stuff.  Then they don't do it, but run on the promise--again, and again, and again.

See how that works?  They couldn't afford to have Trump around D.C actually solving problems.  "What About the ELECTION!!" they asked....)
