RNC Chief Urges GOP To Pass Even More Extreme Abortion Bills

Keep up the good work, Ronna!

So they're embracing and amplifying the same issue that lost so many recent races for the GOP. I'm not sure exactly what the strategy is here, but hey, when your enemy is drowning, throw them an anvil! Good going, Ronna Romney McDaniel! Via the New Republic:

After reelecting Ronna McDaniel as its leader, the Republican National Committee has passed an anti-choice resolution instructing the party to “go on offense” against abortion rights and pass legislation including six-week bans.

In the resolution passed Monday, the RNC pushes the party apparatus—candidates, consultants, and committees—to “go on offense in the 2024 election cycle,” with regard to abortion. It further urges Republicans in state legislatures and Congress to pass the “strongest” anti-choice legislation possible, using language previously used to justify so-called “heartbeat” bills that would ban abortions at six weeks, before many even know they are pregnant.

By passing such a resolution, the RNC is both directing the party to pursue extreme legislation that would strip away significant bodily autonomy from women and gender minorities, and doubling down on a radical strategy that helped the party’s projected midterm red wave fizzle away.
