The overturning of ROE as I said numerous times that it was already baked into the equation. The female vote this midterm according to the exit polls confirms that. The follow is how females votes
2014 51% Democratic congressional candidates, 47% Republican congressional candidates
2016 54% Clinton, 41% Trump, 5% third party
2018 59% Democratic congressional candidates, 40% Republican congressional candidates
2020 57% Biden, 42% Trump
2022 53% Democratic congressional candidates, 45% Republican congressional candidates
The 45% Republican congressional candidates received this midterm was the highest female vote they received since 2014 midterms. What swung the midterms toward the Democrats was the independent vote going to the Democrats by a 49-47 margin. Telling Trump chosen and backed candidate to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Not the female vote nor the overturning of ROE. Independents never liked Trump much, the results of the midterm prove that.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

The Biden judicial appointments will continue unabated and without McConnell’s interference.

The overturning of ROE as I said numerous times that it was already baked into the equation…Telling Trump chosen and backed candidate to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Not the female vote nor the overturning of ROE. Independents never liked Trump much, the results of the midterm prove that. The conservative Brookings Institute disagrees. See the quote above: It’s wasn’t the economy stupid - it was abortion.

If the Dems are able to get the last senator they are, I suspect, going to have a field day. I wonder, the senate has a LOT of stuff passed by the Democratic house and now its probably going to be a Republican house. I wonder, what happens to all that legislation that the Democratic house passed last year?
In any case they will no longer be dependent on the two troublesome Democratic senators.

See the quote above: It’s wasn’t the economy stupid - it was abortion. You're free to believe whatever you want to believe. The numbers say different. Abortion didn't change anyone's vote, pure and simple. Either go by the numbers, they're cold hard facts or don't. Up to you.

In any case they will no longer be dependent on the two troublesome Democratic senators. No, what was passed by the House ends at the end of this session if not passed by the senate prior to the new session begins. There's no carry over from one session to the next.

I will take the analysis from rock-solid, tried and true conservative Brookings Institute over an armchair amateur that the Institute says abortion DID win the election for the Dems, thanks.

You’re welcome. Now explain to me why more women voted for Republican congressional candidates in 2022 than in 2020, 2018 or 2016 if abortion was so important. Perhaps abortion was more important to pro-lifers than pro-choicers in the female ranks? I don’t know. All I know is 45% of all women voted Republican in 2022 vs. 42% in 2020, 40% in 2018. In fact the 53% of women who voted democratic in 2022 was the lowest percentage of women who voted Democratic since 2014. Maybe you’re right, abortion caused the drop in the women’s vote. Could be. At least that may be what the numbers show.
Explain this to me, please. Pretty please. Pretty, pretty, please why less women voted Democratic since 2014 this year if abortion was that important. Please.

I’ll let the Pew Research explain it to you. Pew even let THE NUMBERS tell the story. My mansplaining of why women do what they do, won’t do women justice.

I get to some, the idea that is central to women lives is their healthcare which they think about constantly - while men don’t. It is often men who give short shrift to women's health as evident in recent legislation.
