Democrats have been beating polls, nationwide, by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

But yes, the beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box is the important part.

If they did, they wouldn't care. "It's God's will."
Christofascists don't care about women. They care about power first & their stupid book full of Bronze Age fairy tales is a distant second, except for the parts they don't like, of course.
Maybe, but I doubt it would really do anything for her. She's actually not a bad person, but her upbringing means she's not the least bit concerned about going to jail after whipping a bad person's ass.
