“Democrats plan to continue to rally voters around abortion rights, starting this fall with legislative races in Virginia, where the Republican governor has pushed for a 15-week abortion ban. Abortion could also loom large in some of the dozens of state Supreme Court races that will be held around the country next year. It’s sure to play an outsize role in the 2024 presidential election, as well as House and Senate races, because Congress could consider a nationwide abortion ban.
“I think the moment when Republicans in the presidential primary debate are asked whether they’ll support a national abortion ban and they raise their hands is the moment that they will lose the next presidential election,” said Ben Wikler, the chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.”
Abortion is taking the spotlight like few thought it could after 50 years of ‘Roe’. That is what happens when the the Supreme Court takes away a right so many took for granted for decades and decades. The total abortion bans supported by Republicans are coming into closer view now that nothing in federal law prevents them from being enacted. The general public supports some abortion rights but the GOP has hard liners that prevent moderate voices within their party from being heard and lost elections are the result.
