Episode notes
Democratic Midterm Strategy
- Democrats hope that abortion will motivate voters in the 2022 midterms.
- This hope stems from Kansas voters upholding state constitutional abortion protections.
Kansas Referendum Analysis
- The Kansas referendum's wording was confusing, potentially impacting the 60-40 outcome.
- Media suggests the Roe v. Wade overturn motivates voters, but the referendum wasn't a direct abortion ban.
Federal vs. State Abortion Law
- The overturning of Roe v. Wade returned abortion regulation to states, aligning with federalism.
- Joe Biden's push to re-federalize the issue might not be popular, especially given varying state opinions.
