"pro-life" no longer resonated with voters.
Makes sense, when the same party also believes in unlimited access to guns and assault weapons.

I'll give them the proper term, and this is for free: "forced birther".
"Pro-Forced-Birth"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Republican strategists are exploring a shift away from “pro-life” messaging on abortion after consistent Election Day losses for the GOP when reproductive rights were on the ballot.
The polling, which NBC News has not independently reviewed, was made available to senators Wednesday by former McConnell aide Steven Law and showed that “pro-life” no longer resonated with voters.
Senators who attended Law’s presentation said he encouraged Republicans to be as specific as possible when they describe their positions on abortion, highlighting findings that he said could have a negative impact on elections.
The NRSC, the source said, is “encouraging candidates to contrast that position with Democrats’ support for taxpayer-funded abortion without limits.”
An NBC News poll conducted in June found that 61% of all voters said they disapproved of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 Dobbs decision, which left the legality and conditions of abortion up to the states.
Ambassador Nikki Haley said her opponents were not being honest with Americans about what would be legislatively feasible when it comes to potential federal restrictions on abortion.
The original article contains 1,032 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
“Anti-choice”.
Maybe we can help them come up with another term. How about "pro-birth, but fuck the children"? Oh, maybe not. Conservatives would just butt-fuck even more children.
