Republicans in vulnerable House seats are looking to avoid abortion becoming their undoing by offering policies that differ from more conservative members of the party.
Rep. Nick LaLota told Politico he is looking to take a"commonsense" approach to abortion policy and believes Democrats will be unsuccessful in making it the issue to unseat him in 2024.“They tried that in 2022, and my opponent spent $3.1 million trying to paint me as that when that’s not the case. I do believe in exceptions for rape, incest, the life of the mother. And I do not oppose abortion in the first trimester,” LaLota said.
Reps. Marc Molinaro and Anthony D’Esposito said they are not worried about failing to represent their constituents on the matter and that they are not looking to change the state's laws on abortion, according to Politico. Rep. Nancy Mace has been vocal that Republicans will"lose huge" in future elections unless they find a"middle ground" on abortion.
Mace narrowly ousted then-Rep. Joe Cunningham in the 2020 election, 50.6%-49.3%, before winning by nearly 14 points in 2022 in the newly reformed Republican +7 district, per the Cook Partisan Voting Index.

In one government funding bill after another, Republicans are incorporating provisions to limit women’s reproductive rights. Democrats say the proposals will never become law.
