This is going to wind up being a massive L for Republicans in the long run when the eventual criminalization of abortion in red states results in:
- An acceleration of the brain drain from red states to blue states as educated and upwardly mobile women and couples decide to leave at an even higher rate than they were before.
- A significant increase in crime as more children are born into dysfunctional circumstances, increasing the burden upon the community, the taxpayer, and altogether making red states even worse places to live.
- The terrible optics of the inevitable news reports of scores of women dying from botched, backstreet abortions, for which the Republican Party will almost certainly receive the blame.
- An almost certain increase in the fertility rate of demographics which pretty much unanimously vote Democrat at every level of power.
A massive own goal if ever there was one, and for what? An entirely sentimental victory which is of no practical benefit to anyone.
