Mace says abortion is why Republicans didn't get a larger House majority

[RandySF]

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said she thinks abortion is the reason why Republicans did not pick up a larger majority in the House, urging lawmakers to find middle ground on the issue.

“It’s the reason we didn’t get more of a majority,” Mace said to Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday. “We should have had a dozen or two dozen seat majority this legislative session but we don’t because this is one of the issues that was top of mind for swing voters.”

Mace has voiced her opposition to the GOP response to the striking down of Roe v. Wade last year. While Republicans in the House have prioritized a number of bills targeting abortion restriction in their new majority, Mace has criticized her colleagues as “tone deaf.”

Mace said Republicans and Democrats needed to find a way to compromise on abortion, saying that even though she is pro-life, she is trying to engage lawmakers in dialogue about a middle ground.

1. There is zero middle ground. We control our bodies, and our healthcare.

It’s not negotiable. Someone ask a republican man when they’re going to regulate dick pills? Also ensure the wife signs off to get them.

12. I think the middle ground is this:

A national law banning states from outlawing abortion before 24 weeks. That's was Roe allowed.

3. Middle Ground: ain't going to happen.

Like Ivanka going to Planned Parenthood on behalf of her father with a bargain: stop doing abortions and we'll give you federal money for women's health. And she believed PP would go for that "middle ground". They didn't.

7. "Beware of Republicans bearing gifts."

4. There is no "middle ground" regarding abortions.

Either a woman has autonomy over her own body or she doesn't. Either a conscious, breathing human has say over her/his body or they don't. There is no middle ground.

5. Duh! Everybody knows that, Rep. Mace.

My God, why is that news to them? Are they that dense?

None.
