Summary
Tuesday was a hard day for the pro-life movement. Elections in Kentucky and Virginia, as well as a referendum in Ohio, all seemed to signal Democrat wins on the issue of abortion. So this begs the question, should Republicans give it up? Or try something different?

| 0:00.0 | All right. So probably one of the most controversial issues that we have today in modern American |
| 0:05.1 | politics is the issue of abortion. And there's been an ongoing debate within the country as |
| 0:11.3 | the whole ever since Roe v. Wade came out and this issue is largely gone back to the states, |
| 0:15.3 | although not exclusively to the states. And a lot of arguments within Republican circles |
| 0:19.9 | on whether or not this is damaging |
| 0:21.6 | Republican electoral chances. And we look at the recent election with respect to what happened |
