Their candidates are afraid to talk about it. And their standard bearer—convicted felon Donald Trump—can’t give a coherent statement about where he stands.
Meanwhile, Democrats are on offense, knowing public opinion is on their side.
New Gallup polling shows just how much the GOP needs to worry about abortion.
