Kamala Harris, in her grand quest for the presidency, decided to make a pit stop in Texas, the epicenter of the pro-life movement. With all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, she came charging in to advocate for her pro-abortion agenda. According to Harris, Texas isn’t just any state; it’s ground zero in the battle for “a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.” Little did she realize, Texans were about to give her a not-so-gentle reminder about what they truly prioritize.
During her doomed campaign, Harris took aim at Republican governors who had the audacity to protect unborn lives with legislation to do just that. This wasn’t just a minor talking point; it was the cheese to her macaroni. However, despite her fervent pleas and relentless campaign rhetoric, the voters had other ideas. Fast forward to Election Day, and the results were less than favorable for the Vice President. Donald Trump emerged victorious, racking up over 300 electoral votes while Harris played the role of the reluctant loser, taking her sweet time to concede the next afternoon.
Interestingly, CBS News exit polling revealed a reality that Harris and her supporters are loath to accept: Voters were thinking much more about the economy than they were about abortion rights. While Harris was busy touting women’s bodily autonomy, it seems most Americans were more interested in whether their wallets were suffering from inflation or not. Cue the crickets as the realization dawned on her that talking about abortion didn’t put food on the table.

Despite her electoral woes, Harris resurfaced recently to promote her pro-abortion stand on social media, repeating her mantra about women needing the “freedom to make decisions about their own bodies.” This echo chamber of rhetoric is likely to resonate with a specific base, but it’s increasingly clear that this stance is a political liability rather than an asset.
As the election drew to a close, organizations like the left-wing Progress Action Fund were running ads warning of a dystopian future where women allegedly would “die” due to Republican abortion bans. The hyperbole reached new heights, as if the GOP’s electoral victory would instate some sort of scene from a horror movie. But fear tactics don’t often win elections, and it appears that voters are far too smart to fall for such dramatic theatrics. Ultimately, it’s a vast misunderstanding of the American electorate when abortion suddenly threatens to overshadow the pressing issues of everyday life, namely jobs, inflation, and family stability.
