What idiot is pro choice but doesn't already know that Republicans aren't?

Conservative women. They love to pretend they are pro life. Until their own ectopic pregnancy...

A lot of these people legitimately don't believe that is an abortion. They have been convinced that "abortion" only applies to elective termination of pregnancy as a form of birth control. And they believe there are people who are doing this multiple times per year as their primary form of contraception.

How do harness this power to convince people of anything but use it for good?

Values that are loudly stated mean something more than if we just know someone holds certain values. If we flip the script for example, and consider a democrat who has generally been pro-choice, Vs a generally pro choice democrat who campaigns on making pro-choice law so that the roe Vs wade repeal cannot stand. I'd be much more likely to vote for the latter candidate, largely because this stance will put off people who are anti-abortion.
