Reproductive Rights as a Central Issue

The podcast highlights the significance of reproductive rights, particularly abortion, as a critical issue in the upcoming 2024 election, especially following the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Since this ruling, 14 states have imposed strict abortion bans, while many blue states have expanded access, reflecting a broader shift in public sentiment. Recent ballot measures across several states indicate a growing support for abortion rights, with voters in every measure favoring the pro-choice side. Particularly among women voters under 45, abortion has emerged as a primary concern, prompting campaigns to emphasize this issue to mobilize voters.
