Voters in Kansas decided to uphold a state constitutional right to abortion. New research indicates that Kansas may not be alone in seeing abortion as a vote-moving issue.
Those partisan shifts could be significant come November as Democrats face persistent headwinds heading into the midterms. While inflation and gas prices continue to top the list of concerns for voters, abortion is right behind.
“Lower-turnout midterm elections can be a game of inches, and abortion could make a difference, especially if gas prices continue to fall,” Kaiser Family Foundation President and CEO Drew Altman said. “It’s motivating a lot of younger women to vote, and most Democrats, half of independents and even some Republicans plan to vote for candidates who support abortion access.”
Kentucky, California, Vermont, Montana and likely Michigan will ask voters to weigh in on abortion on ballots come November. In the meantime, President Biden is looking to make abortion an issue that brings voters—particularly women voters—to the polls nationwide. “It’s my hope and strong belief that women will, in fact, turn out in record numbers to reclaim the rights that have [been] taken from them by the Court,” Biden
