How abortion politics have changed over the past eight years - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : In 2020, Trump won Ohio by 8 points and is likely to do so again this year.
54% : Donald Trump, in no small part because of his promise to nominate pro-life judges to the federal bench, secured much-needed support from the religious wing of the party and won the presidential election against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.As president, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and in June 2022, the court, with those three Trump appointees, overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
53% : But whether they like it or not, Trump is appealing to a broad majority of the country with his position as he tries to reassemble an electoral coalition that can win the presidency.
36% : Abortion immediately became illegal in several states controlled by Republicans, while Democratic governors and attorneys general refused to enforce existing bans in states that they controlled.
28% : Pro-life governors all won reelection after enacting abortion bans, and J.D. Vance defeated then-Rep. Tim Ryan to win an open Ohio Senate seat.
