down and said this is a pro-life state. public opinion does not back that up. 78% of texans think that emotions should be legal, at least in some form, if the trigger laws went into effect. only maternal life would be the exception. in cases of rape or incest, abortions are still illegal. that is hoping to be a sticking point for a lot of the middle ground voters getting a lot of demographic democratic voters out the door. there is a lot to go, especially for work. he s 11% behind according to a recent poll. thank you to liz mclaughlin live in houston. coming up, i want to talk more about action. i will speak to the president of neural, the oldest existing abortions right group in the country about what people can do to fight back.
evangelicals, and white men. we think this may be a more adjustable group for democrats. they are not going to can verte high progresses but they can be reachable in these races. they spent decades to overturn roe v. wade. with the victory insight, republicans have gone quite on the issue. trump did not mention abortion in his rally in pennsylvania. senator graham refused to comment on if it should be overturned. senator hawley does not support a ban on abortions. it looks like the dog caught the car. the dog caught the car. republicans are like, oh snap, what do we do with it now? it is like you said. is their messaging that they failed to take advantage right now that will speak to and resonate with that suburban, white, female voter that is registered as a republican? there are messages there. we are working on developing those. we are talking to a lot of women right now who are feeling
sufficiently like them. i do think it is going to be consequential. it will be important. i did not know that it will be the central issue. i often had a theory in campaigns that the side that overshoots on the abortion position is the losing side. there are parts where democrats were losing races over third trimester abortions, which are not and do not pull in the same way as roe v. wade. this feels like an overshoot. they re the lincoln project especially is targeting the bannon line burger. if we lose three to 8% of republicans trump can t win. he said thank you, hold my beer. we believe that this may expand the line with suburban american women who are pro-choice then
will come into effect when roe is overturned. the bill cost by the abortion as homicide. missouri is proposing its own bill that will allow private citizens to sue anyone that are taking an out of state abortion. if roe is overturned, the flight will get floodgates will open even more and we will see these kinds of bills punishing women who seek abortions as well as those who help them in more states? that s a great question, katie. we were concerned about this even before the leak, since last year, since the supreme court took on the jobs of versus a jackson. the case in question that could overturn roe. we have seen since the court declined to intervene in texas after the tsv eight past, it was signed by the governor. that is a six-week abortion ban with a vigilante enforcement mechanism. we have seen the floodgates open. idaho, oklahoma, arizona,
