PHOENIX - Laura Wilson is a mother of three who lives in the sprawling suburbs of north Phoenix, a hotly contested electoral area of Arizona that could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate after November's congressional elections. Wilson, 61, is pro-choice, voted for Democratic President Joe Biden, and knew all about the news last week that the U.S. Supreme Court is likely poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision giving women the right to an abortion. Yet Wilson said she is undecided about who she will vote for this November, and abortion rights are not a priority

A lot of our issues are first world issues. Pronouns and the transgender bs along with abortion aren’t important when you’re trying to feed your family.

Liberals are liberals first and will continue the insane practice of voting for democrats. Until her ideals change, she is still a liberal democrat.

Most Americans are likely to vote their pocketbooks this fall and by this measure Dems are in deep doodoo. Abortion will not be sufficient to keep hungry Dem voters in the fold but for many Republican voters abortion will remain a priority issue. The related threat of re-ordering the Supreme Court as promised by Dems and their media will ensure Republican faithfulness and turnout.

I'm guessing unfettered access to abortion will convince very few convert fence-sitters. I'm also guessing the antics of the rabid, in-your-face late-term advocates might turn some undecideds against the Dems.

This woman and many more like her are, in a nut shell are the cause for Americas decline. This person is so diluted with democrat filth she is blinded by the glaring truth of our demise. If she is so confused now, after the last 14 months I wouldn't waste 5 minutes talking to her.

It just boggles the mind that a "mother of three" is pro-choice. Doesn't say much about the children she has if you think it is okay to abort a baby. . .

It occurs to this pro-lifer that the overturn of Roe v Wade will not resonate with "prochoice" women who are beyond their teens and twenties and have become more responsible about their sex lives and their use of birth control. They are very unlikely to need the right to an abortion in their back pocket, better positioned to contemplate continuing an unplanned pregnancy and so it becomes an abstract issue. Many women give lip service to being "prochoice." While they would not have an abortion, they are reluctant to be on the wrong side of the haranguing feminists among us and so say that others should have the right to choose. Liberals are terrified of being expelled or censored by their own tribe. I think that the elections will show that this is a "non-issue" for the squishy middle. Rising prices with no end in sight is a different issue -- a present pain that affects every day life and every day choices and threatens the ability of families to care for their own.

I'm in PA and am a registered Republican, but my adult kids and wife registered no affiliation since they became disillusioned by Democrats like McCain.
They each have received multiple, unsolicited mail-in ballots for Novembers mid-terms. Figure that, the primaries haven't even run yet!! But I think it shows the Democrats are going to try to steal another election.

As for my description of McCain as a Democrat - well... he certainly was no Republican!

Good to know Laura Wilson is a blood thirsty baby butcher!
You gotta be a very very special kind of ftard to be a baby killer in 21st century America. A zillion forms of birth control STARTING WITH ABSTINENCE and this slut still wants to butcher helpless infants.
Tells ya all ya need to know. She needs to be aborted if she's such a fan.
NEXT!

These articles are written from the nuts and bolts of the Democrat/communist mindset. The writers are party members and activists. Arizona is a gun rights state. Even the abysmal Kelly, the gun grabber keeps his mouth shut about guns. The article is written to provide the sunny side and PR for Democrat electoral prospects, and to humanize and normalize these communist kooks. Translated: "They cheated in 2018 and 2020 in Arizona and need to cheat again."

FTA:
"Maria Alvarez, 46, a mother and a realtor, said she is pro-choice, but "I really don't have a strong opinion on it." She wants politicians who will take care of pocketbook issues. She had just completed a grocery shop that cost her $400, twice what she used to pay a year ago."
These sort of 'pocketbook issues' make people change their voting far more than many of the political issues that the leftist crazies, ecowhackos, and antifa thugs screetch on endlessly about.
Your shopping bill going from $200 to $400 is a big deal to many people, untenable to many, causing serious disruptions in their lives, and THAT changes votes far more certainly than political issues which may be purely theoretical, and not have any sort of a real impact on a family's lives during a year.
