“The author seems unaware that at least 50% of the country wants access to abortion and they were motivated by it.”
Are you stuck on stupid? Over 71% of Americans support abortion restrictions. Maybe 50% want some form of abortion legal, but poll after poll said this was way down on their list of priorities.
Abortion did not win AZ and lose by over 20 points in Florida. There was massive cheating and it is obvious to anyone with two eyes and cares to look.
But it won Pennsylvania, Michigan, maybe Georgia.
