2. The anti-abortion movement will continue to have a chokehold on the Republican Party

for years to come. No matter what a losing game banning abortion and restricting access to contraceptives may be in general elections, the anti-abortion movement will remain firmly in control of state and local Republican Party machinery, and ambitious Republican politicians will have to do what they’re told if they want to win in the primaries.

Defeating these zealots is going to take at least a full generation, maybe two, and there might not be a Republican Party at the end of it.
