The result of the Kansas abortion referendum is strong evidence that the polls showing majority support for abortion rights are accurate, even in red states. What will that mean in the real world?
We don’t know if support for abortion rights necessarily translates into more votes for Democrats in November. However, the very high turnout in a primary in which the deck was stacked in favor of the anti-abortion side is a danger sign for the GOP. For canny politicians like DeSantis, this is a very good reason to avoid pushing the abortion issue until the general election is over.
