in every state house and and every Governor’s race. It is now an issue in every local prosecutor’s office too. Previously, the GOP could attack Roe with no political ramifications until the Supreme Court overturned it. They are in the process of losing an entire generation of voters for whom reproductive freedom is a present and real issue.
If they initiate a nationwide ban through activist and religious biased courts, the political damage will be enshrined for generations.
