One in three female voters wants a party to win her vote on abortion

A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows there is an opportunity for pro-life candidates to win over female voters.

“Women voters overall say they trust both the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden more on abortion policy in this country, but trust varies depending on partisanship and age,” KFF found. “In fact, neither candidate nor party garners [a] majority of support from women of reproductive age.”

Among female registered voters, 22% say they do not trust either candidate on abortion, while 13% are “not sure.” An almost equal amount (34%) have trust issues with both political parties on abortion.

This shows an opening for pro-life candidates and the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is clear on its position: legalize abortion through the moment of birth, mail abortion drugs across the country and hand them out at Walgreens, and force taxpayers to support the killing of preborn babies. Democrats also want pregnancy resource centers closed.

Republicans have been a bit murkier on their plans, with some favoring a national abortion ban, some wanting the issue left up to the states, and some probably not wanting to talk about the issue at all.

But the fact the Democrats have not won over one in three female voters with their position shows there is room for pro-lifers to shift the Overton Window and get voters to support the party that is more opposed to abortion.

The end goal of abortion policy must always be stopping the destruction of innocent human life, no matter the size or how they were conceived.

Some of this strategy takes long-term investments such as educating students now about fetal development so they understand what really happens during an abortion.

What exactly will win over those one in three female voters? There is no silver bullet.

However, economic concerns and the potential consequences of pregnancy seem to be places to start. Some voters who might be uncomfortable with abortion might be open to supporting it because they’ve been convinced women need it to avoid poverty.

So a strategy might include emphasizing support for pregnancy resource centers, and explaining what they really do, as well as other options that support women, children, and families. West Virginia, for example, has a Mothers and Babies Support Program that will be run by a pro-life group.

Some voters might just need a reason to explain why they supported one party over another in one election.

This is just one angle. A smart political party would be trying to identify those female voters on the fence to learn more about what would win their votes, as well as how to win over the votes of undecided male voters.

Politics should be oriented toward bringing about justice and protecting the human right to life. This end goal cannot be lost in any discussion about campaign strategy. The Kaiser poll is a good starting place and shows the opportunity to win over voters.
