With just over a year to go until the 2024 elections, Republicans are
beginning to realize that the abortion issue won't just go away. The GOP
has faced a political quandary ever since Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health,
the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, opened the
door to abortion bans, which red states started to enact immediately. On
one hand, abortion bans are wildly unpopular, and have only gotten more so
as we hear horror stories about women being seriously injured or forced to
carry dying babies to term. On the other hand, Republicans don't want to
just give up on their long-standing dream of using forced childbirth to
punish women for having sex.

To square this impossible circle, Republicans have relied on their
favorite strategy: Relentless dishonesty. Lots of pseudo-compassionate
noises about women's pain, while insisting that their sadistic impulses
are "pro-life." They pretend to support hypothetical exceptions to
abortion bans, which for the most part do not apply in actual reality.
They make weak attempts to rebrand their agenda as "pro-baby." They feign
support for contraception access while supporting organizations that
actively work to demolish viable birth control.

That is, most Republicans most of the time are on board with the lying-
through-our-teeth strategy. But not all! Meet New Jersey state Sen. Edward
Durr, a truck driver-turned-politician who has a habit of saying the quiet
parts out loud.

"A woman does have a choice! Keep her legs closed," Durr wrote in a 2020
Facebook post, in which he also called a pro-choice woman an "idiot." He
also "liked" a post that called for "spaying women like dogs."
