I have been wondering if part of the reason for slightly less aggressive tactics from big business around abortion laws, at least compared to the bathroom bills, is that they expect to win at the ballot box in red states. The recent Kansas vote was based on a confusing ballot description, but the evidence is pretty strong that voters even in many red states want to keep abortion legal. Polling in multiple red states has encouraged the pro abortion crowd to pursue ballot initiatives aimed at overturning state restrictions. This will be a difficult fight to keep abortion restrictions in place in many states, there is evidence the issue can be used to goad some low information, ignorant voters into showing up and voting down restrictions.
