States Are On A Mission Restore ‘Roe’.
“When the right to abortion is on the ballot, it wins. It wins in red states that voted for President Donald Trump. It wins in counties President Joe Biden lost by more than 20 points. It wins when popular Republican officials campaign for it and when they ignore it. And it wins even when the outcome has no immediate effect on abortion access.
Support for abortion cuts across party lines, performing significantly better at the ballot box than Biden and other Democrats. In fact, abortion outruns Biden most in the most Republican areas, according to a POLITICO analysis of election results from the five states that have had direct votes on abortion rights. In those five states — California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio — every county that voted for Biden also voted for abortion rights.”
Abortion wins in surprising places. Ohio, a state that has drifted Red since the Trump presidency, decisively voted to preserve the right to an abortion. As Ohio goes so goes the country, well that used to be the case when the state was a toss up in the world of politics. That is no longer the case and Democrats’ road to electoral victory in the Buckeye State is virtually non existent but reproductive rights are a winner there and across the Red State universe which gives Democrats a new road map for future elections.
