Abortion is a hot-button issue in state and federal elections across the country this Tuesday — and it should be. Decisions on abortion policy have returned to the American people and their elected representatives following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade this past June in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
So it makes sense that many people are paying attention to where candidates stand on life and what actions current lawmakers are taking concerning abortion. While it is vitally important that candidates who will protect life are elected, the ability of legislators in an increasing number of states to act could be obstructed by a nationwide movement to create a “right” to abortion and so-called “reproductive freedom” in state constitutions via activist state-court rulings and ballot initiatives.
