Are Republicans changing their stance on abortion?

Are Republicans changing their stance on abortion?

Every time abortion rights are on the ballot, the Democrat candidates do well. That’s been the story since Roe v Wade was overturned 18 months ago.

And republicans are beginning to panic. Do they have a plan to win back voters? Does it include a softer stance?

Also today we hear from a Republican and a Democrat formerly in Congress. If Biden is doing so well, where is the enthusiasm?

Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) and Greg Walden (R-OR) join us, having spent the week working in the UK with the Eccles Centre and the British Library to try and convince people in the UK that the US still believes in bipartisan rhetoric.

And what was Trump doing calling the voters ‘vermin’. Is he reminding America that the authoritarian storngman with anti-democratic beliefs is well and truly back?
