How I hope your last sentence proves true. It feels like Republicans are masters of shameless lying, gaslighting, and every other strategy designed to conceal the truth - it's hard to even put into words, because words are designed to elucidate, and everything they do is designed to obfuscate. This is some serious 1984, Vladimir Putin, shit.

So now none of this is their fault? Just like January 6th never happened? And we're all supposed to go back to complaining about inflation? God help us all if the Democrats let them get away with it.

My sister in law's best friend took Plan B when she had a contraception failure ... she was also deeply involved in campus anti-abortion work. Still is, I believe. My observation is that when it becomes personal, it's allowable because of a "greater good" calculation: I can save more by "killing" one. And better yet if creative semantics can label it something other than abortion, then they don't even feel guilty.
