Abortion & the States' Rights Argument
Briefly

The anti-abortion movement's perceived victory post-Roe v. Wade has become unpopular with a majority of American voters favoring legal abortion, leading to a shift in Republican rhetoric.
The Republican Party's current narrative emphasizes states' rights regarding abortion, reminiscent of historical justifications for slavery, highlighting the complexities of freedom versus choice.
With several states pushing abortion rights measures on ballots, the Republican stance on abortion faces backlash, as public sentiment largely favors legalizing abortion.
The shift to frame the abortion debate around states' rights highlights a political strategy aimed at mitigating unpopularity rather than addressing the substance of abortion rights.
