Abortion Is Now a Wedge Issue — Against Republicans

The defeat of Ohio’s Issue 1 shows abortion rights could be the preeminent populist cause of the next decade or so.

The SCOTUS dismantling Roe v. Wade is the ultimate example of the dog that caught the car. Now Republicans must carry this "to term" and for the rest of their lives. Poetic.
The problem is that the GOP forgot to keep it a boogeyman. Hypocritical conservatives could continue the culture war against abortion as long as the independent, Democrat, and liberal woman believed SCOTUS wouldn't rip apart half a century of precedent. As soon as the monster came out from under the bed and became real woman began arming themselves to fight it.
