After Losing Elections After Roe, Republicans Say They Don’t Care As Much About Abortion

January 17, 2024

What: The Iowa Caucus officially kicked off the 2024 presidential campaign yesterday, and Donald Trump won the GOP primary. But even in super conservative Iowa, Republicans shied away from talking about abortion. Perhaps that’s because they’ve lost so many elections after supporting a Supreme Court that lets states ban abortions.

Why it matters: The GOP may not want to talk about it, but every Republican candidate, Trump included, could (and very likely would) expand abortion bans and restrictions should they win.
