“While Washington is consumed by another round of ‘Will there or won’t there be a shutdown?,’ another politically significant issue is rising to the surface once again and causing tension among Republicans: abortion,” the Washington Post reports.
“Republican presidential candidates are sparring over the severity of abortion bans, moderate House Republicans are facing difficult votes on abortion restrictions, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) continues to block military promotions and confirmations over his opposition to a new Pentagon policy despite the frustration it is causing some of his GOP colleagues.”
“The party is still trying to find an abortion message that is broadly appealing to voters in 2024. But it’s clear that the GOP is no closer to having a unified stance on the issue than it was immediately after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly 15 months ago. ”
