Republicans are trying to rebrand as something other than anti-abortion. Don't buy it.

In an election year full of unrelenting twists and turns, Republicans have added yet another unexpected plot twist: They are trying to rebrand as “pro-choice.”

In television ads and op-eds and on social media, Republicans in close contests are trying to proclaim a sudden change of heart on reproductive health care positions like abortion, IVF and birth control — mere weeks away from Election Day. But Republicans’ extremist agenda hasn’t changed. They’ve just read the polls.

Abortion is now the single most important issue to young female voters, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll, and a recent Gallup Poll found a record-high 32% of Americans say they will vote only for candidates who share their views on the issue.

Protecting abortion has been one of the largest factors driving voter turnout in every election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. Republicans spent years orchestrating how to take this very right away from women, even as Americans’ majority support for abortion has only continued to grow.
