As many still rage over the overturn of Roe v. Wade, do republicans have any chance of being elected in 2024?

From The Hill. The huge voter turnout against a special ballot measure in Ohio that would have made it tougher to protect abortion rights is setting off alarm bells among Republican strategists who say abortion will be problem for their party in 2024.

Republicans hope to win back control of the Senate and keep their House majority but acknowledge abortion politics will “complicate” their chances of winning key races in even conservative-leaning states, such as Montana and Ohio, where Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) are up for reelection.

The potency of the abortion-rights debate in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was on full display in Tuesday’s special election in Ohio — a state former President Trump won handily in 2016 and 2020.

A Republican-backed measure to make it tougher to amend the state constitution to protect abortion was soundly defeated …

“It shows that abortion continues to be a very tricky subject for Republicans post Roe reversal,” said a Senate Republican strategist, citing the public backlash to the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade …

“Independent college-educated women, even those who lean to the right, are breaking in a way that they never have on the abortion issue. Before the Roe reversal, independent right-leaning women were almost a lock for Republicans but now it’s not so clear,” the strategist added.

“The centrist and center-right women in the suburbs, they are breaking in a different way than they ever have in the past. This was a very tricky issue for Republicans in the 2022 midterm, and it’s obviously a very tricky issue for Republicans in an off-year awkwardly timed election like we saw in Ohio,” the source added.

Democratic strategists say the huge voter turnout in Tuesday’s election is an early sign that Democratic and independent voters will be highly energized by abortion in 2024. …

In the battle for the Senate, Republicans enjoy a favorable map in 2024 that will see Democrats defending more vulnerable seats.

But if Democrats can mobilize their base over abortion rights and convince the electorate that it is a critical issue in the Senate races — as well as the presidential contest — it could help them judging from the results in Ohio.

Republican and Democratic strategists say abortion will be most problematic for Republican Senate and House candidates in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which are also four presidential battleground states. …

Yes! Republicans has a great chance of being elected in November! My Bible says that we need to “watch what we say” since we will have “whatsoever we say!” I say we will win by a landslide in November since we have the LORD on our side! Direct our path and order our steps; and let us guard our tongues as we witness to voters for the November election that we will win in JESUS NAME! Amen!

Issue 1 was lost by 529 votes with about 88,000 votes cast. That is not a landslide, and yes the No’s came out, but so did the yes’s! I worked at the polls on August 8th and am very encouraged that people came out to vote for LIFE! We must continue to get the word out so enshrining abortion in Ohio’s constitution will be defeated! The fight goes on! FATHER GOD thank YOU for using us to protect the sanctity of life in Ohio! Let us win by a landslide in November’s election in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Father, may people see this is more than just abortion but goes into transgender treatments and will put a wall between parent and child. Many people said the issue was confusing; may they be clear on it by November. Touch people’s hearts to see the truth of this amendment!

Lord we thank you for answering prayers offered over decades and at time and way most had not envisioned to end federally protected right to murder children. When you touched me about my silence on abortion, praying and fasting lead to personal actions on this national sin. Please continue to guide me to participate in pro life movement and educate those who are neutral and also boldly challenge the Church to mobilize for morality, life by repenting of acceptance, silence on abortion, desire to not be offensive,,,, not willing to accept responsibility for abortion happening in their community. Lead me in your truth because of so much emotional manipulation, circumstantial justification for immorality, even falsehood and distortion of your Word to comply with culture.
1 John 3:16-18, “let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
James 2:14-17, “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works is dead.”
James 1:27, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

2 Chronicles 7:14-15 Lord May we intercessors pray without ceasing for the babies in the Womb, for the protection of God given through birth identity, for sexual purity between a man and a woman. May You be Glorified by our praise Lord. Lord please heal those who are deceived and under strongholds. In Jesus name I pray and ask. Amen
