President Biden signed his second executive action to protect abortion rights on Wednesday, one day after the decisive referendum in Kansas that rejected state limits on abortion access.
The developments are giving Democrats hope that they’ve found their motivating issue for the midterm elections, trumpeting the loss of the Kansas amendment as evidence abortion is a winning issue even in red states.
In the first statewide electoral test since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, voters in the traditionally red state overwhelmingly rejected a constitutional amendment that would have allowed lawmakers to ban abortion in the state.
