Members of the panel argued that Democrats could use abortion as a political issue to win in November. By contrast, Dowd argued that abortion has shown how entrenched the GOP is in racist, religious nationalism.
"The thing that’s happened with the Republican Party is there is no division between the people that are pushing religion and the people that are pushing politics. For the Republican Party, it has become one. And it’s this White Christian nationalism that has completely occupies [sic] the Republican Party in America which is out of step with the majority of America," Dowd said.
