President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign managers have been busy crunching numbers since November’s general election, and they seem to have reached a conclusion: When it comes to abortion, Democrats are winning.

Now those same campaign managers are looking to the 2024 presidential election and hoping to capitalize on their wins this past year — even if that means lying about a procedure that kills thousands of innocent children every year while labeling a sizable percentage of Americans as “extremists.” (READ MORE: Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams’ Use of Surrogacy Showcases the Practice’s Grotesqueness)

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that, starting in January, she will travel the country on what she’s calling a “reproductive freedoms tour,” which will start in Wisconsin — a battleground state — on the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

Across our nation, there is a full-on attack on a woman’s fundamental freedom to make decisions about her own body.

The campaign’s decision to focus on abortion in the new year is neither an accident nor a nod to some side issue meant to placate a small portion of the Democrat base. It’s an indication that abortion will be the “central pillar of the campaign moving forward,” as Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler told CNN.

Democrat Wins in 2023 Foreshadow 2024

This past election cycle was an important one for abortion — and, unfortunately, it didn’t go well. While Ohio was the only state to vote explicitly on the issue, politicians up for election in Kentucky and Virginia also made abortion central to their campaigns. In each case, voters chose to pick politicians and policies that would protect abortion. In Ohio, voters actually chose to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s Constitution.

Unfortunately, Ohio is not an anomaly. It’s a snapshot of America. A Gallup poll released in July found that 34 percent of Americans support legalizing abortion under any circumstances, 51 percent thought it should be legal in only some circumstances, 13 percent wanted it illegal in all circumstances, and 2 percent had no opinion. The same poll also found that Americans seem to have become less pro-life since the Supreme Court overturned Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last year. Before the Dobbs decision, Americans were split 50/50. This year, 52 percent identified as pro-choice, while a mere 44 percent identified as pro-life.

In other words, the Biden administration’s position (that abortion should be legal at all times and in all circumstances) is significantly more popular than the conservative position (that abortion should always be illegal, since it ends a life). At the same time, it’s important to note that the 51 percent of Americans who support legalizing abortion in some circumstances are up for grabs by either side. It’s this 51 percent that Harris’ speaking tour will be aimed at converting and mobilizing.

Biden Campaign Frames Abortion in Extremes

The Biden campaign isn’t planning on reinventing the wheel when it comes to the abortion issue. It’s decided that the best path forward is to continue to frame pro-lifers (44 percent of the country, remember) as “extremists” threatening to enslave women. The White House announcement of the vice president’s speaking tour provides an excellent foretaste of the kind of rhetoric Harris will be using:

Extremists across our country continue to wage a full-on attack against hard-won, hard-fought freedoms as they push their radical policies — from banning abortion in all 50 states and criminalizing doctors, to forcing women to travel out of state in order to get the care they need … I [Harris] will continue to fight for our fundamental freedoms while bringing together those throughout America who agree that every woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body — not the government.

If that statement sounds familiar, it should. Those are the pro-abortion talking points we’ve been hearing ad nauseum for the last year — ones the Democrats believe could be effective, especially as polling numbers shift in their favor.

The Biden campaign is so confident that this approach will work that it’s even willing to reveal its hand a bit: The tour is intended, in part, to pressure Congress to pass legislation to legalize abortion in all 50 states. The administration is busy assuring Americans that any such legislation would just reinstate Roe, but past versions have gone further than Roe ever did. (WATCH from Aubrey Gulick: The Supreme Court Will Hear Case on Abortion Pill. Here’s Why That Matters.)

Just after the Dobbs decision leaked, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) pushed a bill in the Senate that would have changed the way the law approached unborn children. Even under Roe, the law approached unborn babies differently than it did, say, pancreatic cancer. Had Schumer’s bill passed, the Heritage Foundation’s Thomas Jipping explains, “any suggestion that a second human being exists at all” would have been erased and regulations on abortions for minors abolished. What Democrats want isn’t Roe; it’s unlimited abortion.

The Pro-Life Response

But wait a second — that Gallup poll indicated that a mere 36 percent of Americans support legalizing abortion under all circumstances. That’s not a majority, you say. Except it doesn’t have to be if Americans are being told they can have either unlimited abortion or no abortion at all.

Conservatives can’t simply respond to Harris’ “reproductive rights” speaking tour by repeating everything we’ve been saying for the last 50 years. That message doesn’t seem to be getting through to people. We need stories to illustrate our point that abortion horrifically ends innocent lives and leaves mothers grieving, and then those stories need to go viral — not just among conservatives but across the country.

The Biden administration’s decision to make abortion the center of its reelection campaign in 2024 amounts to building a presidential campaign on the unmarked graves of unborn Americans. It is one of the worst scandals in our nation’s history, and the American public deserves to know that.
