Anti-abortion politicians in Iowa are hellbent on reviving a 5-year-old abortion ban that is now in the hands of the state Supreme Court.

If enforced, it would block 98% of abortions in the state + force residents to flee their homes to access care.https://t.co/YnhN8OUWRP

The Supreme Court (R) will either ban or limit the abortion pill

Anything else would upset their Trump cult supporters.

I expect the Supreme Court (R) to support restrictions on the abortion poll. This is a political decision. If they overturn the restrictions, their Republican supporters will be angry. Pro-abortion supporters will still be mad at them for overturning Roe /1

If they support the restrictions, their right-wing supporters will be happy. Abortion supporters are already furious so they’ll still be angry. /2

We’ve already seen they don’t care about precedent or what the majority of the public wants. They only care about what their right wing base wants. /end

Trump is evil but he understands that the extremist GOP abortion policies are unpopular

Roe v. Wade wouldn’t have been overturned without the three Trump justices. The judge who banned the abortion pill was also a Trump appointee. Still, he hasn’t gloated because he knows GOP policies are too far right for the public.

Earlier this week, I predicted that abortion politics would lead Trump to endorse a more-moderate position. It was a good prediction. https://t.co/elVM9uVdUz
