Simple: 6 week bans aren't going to be popular nation wide. It is also a pretty good play to destroy republican support even in conservative states, specifically because it gives the Left an issue to make.
We saw this in Kentucky and Kansas as both state's abortion restrictions were rebuffed, because it is a huge motivator for the Left. They care about abortion more than the economy, more than war, and way more than crime. To your average Democrat, it is better that 10 child killers go free, than one fetus go murdered by it's mother.
Look at what happened with Montana. Montana failed to pass a law that would make it a crime to leave a baby to die if an abortion didn't succeed. This is a perfectly reasonable measure. But due to Left-wing propaganda, it failed based on the assumption that dying babies would be beaten to death by doctors.
Ohio even had a trigger law that passed a 6 week abortion ban. It's been jammed up in the courts after a crazy account where doctors just assumed that they couldn't preform abortions on rape & incest victims despite there being nothing saying that in the law.
The Democrats want more than anything to frame the entire election around abortion because it's all they are actually doing okay on with their own base. They even claim that the reason the Republican midterms weren't bigger was because abortion rallied bajillions of democrats from every area to beat back the Handmaid's Tale Nazis.
Not pushing hard on abortion is perfectly reasonable. Go win that part of the culture war if you want to make an impression. Please note: you'll need to win it in Republican states.
I'm sick of the left extremists and the right extremists, they both sit in a room jerking themselves off about how they're going to demonstrate power by ruining peoples control over their own lives.
90's Democrats gonna 90's Democrat. Just like Neocons gonna Neocon.
I just wonder how the cultists will defend this one.

My odds are on "call him a DeSantis shill" as if I think that neocon cloaking himself in the culture war wouldn't be a worse version of Dubya.
Abortion is a losing issue for Republicans. He knows it. Roe vs wade was abolished, that's all the victory anyone needs on abortion at this point
Roe v Wade being stuck down means nothing if the governors of the states don't sign bills into law.
everything is losing issue for Republicans
Yes, because their role in the false binary is to lose gracefully, but that's a separate argument.
Why would anyone need to defend it?

How is being anti baby murder 'extreme right'?
"baby murder" is as absurd as "trans genocide".
