Swing Voters Are Still Mad at Republicans About Abortion

Sarah Longwell: “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard voters—even swing voters and conservatives—say some version of ‘I’m pro-life, but I believe in a woman’s right to choose.’ Translation: Voters can be personally uncomfortable with abortion and still believe that the state-level bans are a bridge too far.”

“In recent focus groups I’ve conducted, abortion still pops up as an issue. That’s especially true in states with very restrictive abortion bans—including some that have key Senate and gubernatorial races this year, like Iowa and Texas.”
