I think this ‘heartbeat law’ fully cements his pro-life street cred.” Katie Daniel, of the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, described Florida's new law as “a huge step forward." “Of all places to talk about a federal ban of abortion, New Hampshire ain’t it,” Sununu said in an interview. Her team pointed to a 7-month-old memo from her office suggesting that Republicans should highlight Democratic officials' opposition to abortion restrictions of any kind, which the memo described as “an extreme stance.” After the GOP's midterm disappointment last fall, however, Republicans are increasingly concerned that such messaging isn't enough to help blunt the Democrats' advantage — especially as Republicans in key states continue to enact strict abortion restrictions.
