Being pro-life is a core value of the Republican base but it is clearly not the same in terms of the general electorate.
Any future Republican presidential or senate candidate will have to have a nuanced stance on this issue. It is fine to be pro-life but it is clear that they cannot openly support any full ban on abortion.
Complete abortion bans with no exceptions for rape, incest or health of the mother are just not going to happen in almost any part of the country even if those complete bans are what we want.
The results of the Montana referendum actually make me want to throw up.
The majority of the people of fucking red Montana actually voted against saving babies born during a botched abortion.
The voting population is becoming more and more completely morally bankrupt.
This is one of the worst blackpills for me in this election.

I don’t think this should blackpill you. Roe v wade was in place for 50 years. In that time, abortion on demand became the norm and everybody now expects it. It wasn’t surprising to me that there was backlash, even in red states.
People have a way of rationalizing the status quo no matter how ridiculous it is. It’s like in Oregon where people aren’t allowed to pump their own gas. Whenever somebody proposes an end to that, Oregoners give such ridiculous reasons for why they can’t possibly be expected to do something that everybody in every other state takes for granted.
I think you are correct that we will probably need to go with a more incremental approach instead of outright bans right off the bat.
