Democrats running on abortion when other problems to address

I am wondering when the Democratic Party became the “party of abortion”? Why has this issue become the battle cry for every Democrat running for election or re-election? “Do you want abortions as a form of birth control at any stage of a woman’s pregnancy? Vote for me!”

Our economy is in the toilet. Inflation is killing middle America with no relief in sight. Gas prices are through the roof. Global conflict is threatening the entire world and we have a weak president doing nothing except to bend over to China. Our borders are wide open with criminals and illegal drugs which are killing our people at record rates pouring into our country.

Crime and violence are taking over our towns and cities. We have a totally incompetent president who is clueless about what to say or do about the crisis our nation is in. We have a vice president who apparently has an I.Q. in the single digits. And all the Democrats care about is taking the abortion issue away from the states in spite of the Supreme Court’s correct decision that this issue belongs to the states and the people.

Good luck in November, Democrats!
