Following the Supreme Court opinion on Dobbs in 2022, Democrats decided to run on abortion every single election.
The technique is to terrify their core constituency of affluent white, female liberals (AWFLs) with endless lies about conservatives attacking their right to choose. Generally they use ads. Pro-abortion ballot initiatives enshrining abortion in state constitutions have been floated in the last two national elections.
The goal is to turn out the single, college-educated women in sufficient numbers to elect Democrats. The goal is never to actually solve the issue, so it ends up being a festering carbuncle on the carcass of political life for as long as the tactic works for democrats, and for as long as the seemingly mentally ill liberal women targeted, who all claim to be intelligent, put up with it.
We here in Alaska have been treated to a series of ads funded by a national group “Vote Alaska Before Party” all summer. While never mentioned, these ads all support Mary Peltola’s reelection bid for congress. hey uniformly bash Republican candidates in the primary.
Note that this is all Outside money, being spent by the group headed by political operative Jim Lottsfeldt, to help Peltola win the primary Aug 20 and the general on Nov 5.
While Lottsfeld’s radio ads never mention Peltola, they do talk a lot about the three conservative candidates. They go after Nick Begich for supporting the Supreme Court Dobbs decision, which allows states to decide the abortion question. They bash Nancy Dahlstrom for taking over $160,000 from groups who want to ban abortion nationwide. Finally, they go after Gerald Heikes for wanting to defund Planned Parenthood. All three candidates are darkly labeled as too extreme for Alaska.
A deeper look into this uncovers the fraud Lottsfeld and his national democrat backers are executing on voters in Alaska.
In the Begich case, Dobbs put the issue squarely back in the hands of elected officials in the states — legislature and governors. Courts are no longer players. Suggesting that some national abortion legislation – for or against – is possible is little more than a lie.
Lottsfeld’s Democrats continue with their attack on Dahlstrom, claiming that taking money from people who don’t like abortion is extreme. Does this also mean that taking money from the pro-abortion world is likewise extreme? While it should, it is apparently not in the Democrat fever swamps.
The final, and most laughable claim is that defunding Planned Parenthood is somehow extreme. Note that this is the same Planned Parenthood that is currently running a nationwide chop shop for commercial sale of aborted baby parts.
This was uncovered by Project Veritas in a series of videos in 2015. Then California Attorney General Kamala Harris went after the reporting in court in 2016 with the goal to make sure nothing saw the light of day.
Not ignoring a new revenue stream, Planned Parenthood managed to insert itself into middle of the burgeoning gender affirming care industry targeting young girls for their “services.” They used their position in the public schools to prey on pregnant teens as a vehicle to become the second largest provider of gender hormone therapies nationwide. Like with their abortion advocacy, this is usually done without the knowledge or participation of the parents of these minors.
Defunding these predators of young women would be a vast improvement in political life.
But Lottsfeld’s Democrats who fund this and the candidates they support like Peltola aren’t interested in any compromise, any discussion, or anything else. All they want is the election win. And they are ready, willing, and able to terrify a bunch of women to do it, shamelessly feeding their fears and creating mentally ill people who will do their bidding every election.
It has worked well for them for years. It’s time to break up this game.
