GET ME REWRITE: When it comes to the issue of reproductive rights, Republicans are toast

 

By now they should realize there is none.

Headlines:  Guardian, Axios, The Hill

It’s hard to overstate how the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn abortion rights has fundamentally reshaped political alliances in America. Two years on from the court’s disastrous decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, Democrats have built a powerful coalition that includes not just the party’s the progressive left and centrists, but a sizable chunk of disgusted Republican voters as well. 

Democrats’ new coalition has led to candidates overperforming in special elections across the country. That’s true even in ruby red states like Alabama, where a campaign focused tightly on reproductive rights blasted through decades of conservative dominance. Now the abortion issue threatens to shatter Republicans’ stranglehold on state legislatures.
