A National Ban on Abortions, Not States Rights, has the Political Juice

For decades Forced Birth organizations have had two positions. One was they were working to overturn Roe and as soon as that was accomplished, they would go state by state across the country and eventually ban abortions in every state. The long goal was not turning abortion back to the states, it was banning all abortions in the U.S. The other view expressed by Forced Birth political operatives was they would first overturn Roe, then have a Congress and President pass a national ban. The long game in both scenarios was the one with the political juices, a national ban. Now, the door to both routes to a national ban have been slammed shut. Ironically, Trump and Vance slammed one of the two doors.

It takes political juices to open check books. My post recently about the Forced Birth group that rents billboards showed that its money was limited. My guess is big money will no longer flow to the national Forced Birth groups like it did before. If they cannot achieve a national prohibition they cannot touch the same political emotions. The time of big money available to Forced Birth is coming to a close.

I wish I could predict what will happen when the juice to fight on against abortion fades. All the sermons and masses devoted to it will have to talk about something else. The defrocked guy who runs "Priests for Life," Frank Pavone, will have to work at Starbucks. The cash cow will need to be replaced. 

We might see the future by watching the Republican Party. They are trying out new villains. Illegal immigrants are always available, but it does not always work. They are trying to make anti trans rest rooms work, I doubt it. Whatever replaces Forced Birth will be the demonization of some group. Might be atheists. I'm keeping my head down.
