In Missouri, where abortions are completely prohibited except for health emergencies, Trump won easily, but so did an amendment enshrining reproductive rights in the state constitution.
A similar measure in Trump's home state of Florida, Amendment 4, won a slightly larger majority than Trump himself did-and yet the measure failed, because it did not reach Florida's sixty-per-cent threshold for passing constitutional amendments.
Florida provides a vivid microcosm of large swaths of the U.S., where solid majorities back both reproductive freedom and the man who helped take it away.
Kamala Harris's command of abortion rights was a strong issue in her campaign against Trump, reflecting voters' fury over the Dobbs decision.
