Women were a pivotal element of Democrats’ success in the 2018 midterms. With abortion policy returning to the center of national attention, women are back in the spotlight as a central force in Democratic politics. hookjan explains:

Ralph Reed, chairman of the conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition, said the intensifying focus on abortion will stoke both parties’ activist base in 2020, with each side portraying the other as dangerously extreme.

“This has been a massive awakening among people who weren’t passionate about [abortion rights] because they took it for granted,’’ said Marianne Williamson, an author a spiritual lecturer who isAn early test of how abortion politics is changing could come in 2019 during off-year elections in the Virginia Legislature, where Republicans are defending a one-seat majority in both chambers. Anti-abortion forces are strong in VIrginia, and Democratic Gov.

The focus on abortion comes at a time when Trump and the GOP are still deep in a political hole with women — deeper than in 2016. Exit polls found that Democrat Hillary Clinton beat Trump among women by 54% to 41%. Now, as conservative legislatures are passing abortion laws that conflict with Roe vs. Wade, their supporters are hoping they will bring the issue before a Supreme Court that could curb or overturn the landmark ruling. The court, however, has so farPolls find that about two thirds of Americans want to keep Roe vs. Wade in place. Women are not monolithically supportive of abortion rights — the Alabama governor who signed the law is a woman — but Democratic women feel especially strongly about it.

Responding to the spate of anti-abortion state laws, all the major 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have moved quickly to put the issue front and center. When abortion rights advocates held demonstrations across the country last week to protest anti-abortion state laws, several 2020 candidates, including Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Ind., stopped by the rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

when, as here, the lawmakers are (ahem() 'refusing to ABIDE by the Supreme Court's RULING.' They just go back and pass 'about the same law which disregards the Court entirely.' This HAS TO BE EXPOSED. It is a DUE PROCESS VIOLATION on so many levels. It's bigger than Abortion.

re these antiabortion 'laws' touch and concern 'how the People are reacting to them and/or planning on maneuvering around them' as if, in the end, 'they have staying power.' When INVALIDATED (e.g., Louisiana), these Red States CANNOT be 'let off the hook' by the Free Press

Has the LA Times, in fact, adequately 'reported on' how (1) Mississippi's Supreme Court just INVALIDATED their antiabortion 'law' & how (2) EVERY OTHER Red State's Supreme Court is LEGALLY BOUND to do the SAME? Inexplicably, the vast, vast majority of 'news articles'

LA Times= Democratic National Commitee propaganda tool.

Women should only have the right to NOT have an abortion

And it’s all FREE!!!!!!!

If you think the Alabama decision engaged women’s rights activists, you have no clue how the NY embrace of late term abortion galvanized the pro-life movement and converted those on the fence. Watch out, morality is coming your way shortly.

Good for them. Women are done with their human rights being trampled, while males have complete freedom to their reproductive capacities. Level the field of human rights re: reproductive freedoms of choice and as regards healthcare access.

Anyone that votes for a democrat in 2020 is a moron at this point.

With the exception of Warren, Sanders, and Inslee, the campaigns for the Democratic nomination 2020 have not been about issues at all. They have been offering 'narrative, not policy' in mayor Buttigieg's phrase. But maybe this issue will move them to stake out positions.

Women Have Most of Top Roles in Campaigns for Leading 2020 DemocratsThe majority of senior aides and advisers on the top-tier Democratic presidential campaigns are women, and roughly a quarter identified as women of color, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal. Do similar numbers occur in recruiting, retaining and advancing in many professions and senior corporate positions in large organisations ...any surveys or public information on that? How many Republican Women of Color in Congress? How many in the White House? Oxford Uni in the UK: 2017 more than 50% female, approx 19% BME, 10% from state schools. Guess around 2% of total admissions are straight white males from a working class background? Overseas would dilute that number further. Numbers in the US?
