Hannity Warns Republicans Will ‘Get Their Asses Kicked’ If They Go Full Throttle Against Abortion 

Sean Hannity offered a warning about abortion for Republicans ahead of November’s election.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade and the constitutional right to abortion in 2022, a slew of Republican states have enacted abortion bans and restrictions. In response, Democrats have campaigned hard on the issue and managed to avoid an anticipated wipeout in the 2022 midterms by barely losing the House while gaining a seat in the Senate. Democrats have also notched several wins in special elections across the country. Moreover, abortion rights have scored major wins in ballot referenda, including in red states.

“We know what the playbook is,” Hannity said of Democrats on Wednesday’s show while speaking with three pollsters. “They will demagogue on abortion. Republicans, they better have a good answer. And they also need to understand where the country is.”

The Fox host described himself as “pretty pro-life,” but said Republican politicians would be wise not to embrace a ban on abortion before 15 weeks of pregnancy:

“That’s where the country is,” he said. “And if Republican politicians don’t understand that, then… they’re gonna get their asses kicked and they’re gonna lose.”

Pollster Robert Cahaly agreed.

“And it’s also the way you talk about it,” Cahaly said. “When the word ‘ban’ is being thrown around, Republicans are losing. When you start talking about ‘simple limitations,’ ‘reasonable limitations,’ and talking about the extreme being, ‘third-trimester abortion’ and ‘partial birth,’ Republicans are winning.”
