Court overruling Roe vs. Wade spurs new wave of protests that activists hope will translate into November votes.
Last fall, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to put a hold on a Texas law that restricted how long into a pregnancy abortion could be provided, Jenn Soley and Jessica Hughes felt compelled to do something to channel their anger at what they saw as an assault on their rights.
For optimistic Democrats, it may be a political counter — albeit at the cost of fighting over what they see as individual rights for half the population — to headwinds typical of a midterm election for the majority party. But it’ll have to break through to voters facing high gas prices and unsteadying inflation that Republicans blame on the controlling party.
“This is the way we engage the community and keep them focused on the mission,” Soley said. “What is the mission? The general election. We have got to take over … We have got to force those conservative ideas to the back. You only represent a very small section of this country.” But it may not be the main factor for every voter. His rival for the seat, Republican Rose Pugliese, said voters are more likely to show her receipts from grocery store trips and gas tank fill-ups than ask about abortion. She citedas adding to worries for voters, particularly the unaffiliated voters she courted in the lead-up to the primary election.
