Abortion has never quite been a winning issue for Republicans, and Donald Trump is having an especially tough time threading that needle. While the ex-president may have not so long ago bragged about Roe’s demise, [writes]( Molly Jong-Fast, he now seems to be backpedaling by embracing a 16-week national ban. “For Trump,” she explains, “it seems that getting people to compromise their rights just comes down to marketing.” Speaking of abortion rights, Bess Levin [comments]( on the absurdity of Alabama’s high court ruling that frozen embryos are legally children. Plus, Eric Lutz [observes]( that the Wisconsin GOP’s grip on the legislature could finally break now that the state’s election maps are slated to be redrawn. Thanks for reading.
