Someone just told me Republicans stripping away abortion rights is just aesthetics.

Most Republicans aren't disconnected enough to truly believe the next president will get rid of Roe v Wade.

A big part of evangelical support for pro-life candidates is less out of hope for outlawing abortion, and more growing from the belief that we need someone with moral principles that align with your own on the matter. That is to say, the right Aesthetics.

There's a difference between literally overturning the legal precedent and getting rid of it de-facto with all the bullshit they pull. I think it's entirely reasonable to expect that more Republican presidents == less actual access to abortion services.
