Trump, who paved way for Roe v. Wade reversal, says Republicans ‘speak very inarticulately’ about abortion
Former President Donald Trump, who paved the way for the undoing of federal abortion rights protections, said that some Republicans “speak very inarticulately” about the issue and have pursued “terrible” state-level restrictions that could alienate much of the country.
While avoiding taking specific positions himself, Trump said in an NBC interview that if he is reelected he will try to broker compromises on how long into pregnancies abortion should be legal and whether those restrictions should be imposed on the federal or the state level...

The pro-life movement’s disastrous post-Roe pivot
President Donald Trump might go down in history as the best thing that ever happened to legal abortion in the United States.
That’s because Trump, by muzzling pro-life leaders and championing states’ rights on abortion following his efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade, cultivated a political environment in which the practice of legal abortion has flourished. Two-and-a-half years following the fall of Roe, abortion rights have never been more protected in all but a handful of states, and public support for legal abortion has never been stronger.
Abortion bans linked to people moving out of state, study says
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the majority of justices decided that the right to an abortion should be left up to individual states.

No, People Are Not Fleeing States with Strong Pro-Life Laws
A recent study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has been receiving a great deal of media coverage this month. It analyzed change-of-address data from the U.S. Postal Service. It purportedly found that people, particularly singles, are moving away from states with strong pro-life laws.

Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she is pro-life but disagrees with state abortion bans, saying they “cannot stand.” Cheney, one of the most outspoken Republicans against former President Trump, joined CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning as she campaigns for Vice President Harris.

Kamala Harris Busts Another Norm
Michael Kinsley once defined a gaffe as when a politician accidentally tells the truth. If this has come to be known as a “Kinsley gaffe,” perhaps it should be called a “Harris gaffe” when a stage-managed politician accidentally reveals her plans.

Missouri's top court on Tuesday ruled that a proposed abortion rights amendment to the state constitution will appear on the ballot in November, allowing voters to decide whether to restore legal abortion in Missouri for the first time in over two years.
