US President Donald Trump holds up a Bible outside of St John’s Episcopal church across Lafayette Park in Washington, DC on June 1, 2020.Democrats blitzed target states Tuesday with a campaign to mobilize voters on reproductive rights ahead of November’s election, highlighting efforts by Donald Trump and the Republicans to curb abortion access.
Republicans claimed victory in the ruling — which overturned the 40-year-old “Roe v. Wade” precedent — and quickly enacted strict bans or restrictions in most states they control.But a comfortable majority of Americans think abortion should be legal in most cases, according to extensive polling, and around half of states have measures in place to protect access.
“And as House Democrats, we are here to make clear we stand with you to protect reproductive freedom.”While the Florida ruling makes it one of the most restrictive states, the state’s high court also decided that November’s ballot can include an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in Florida’s constitution.
Trump criticized Florida’s ban when he was competing for the Republican presidential nomination against the Sunshine State’s popular governor, Ron DeSantis, who signed it into law. The Biden campaign argued in a memo that Florida is “winnable” if abortion remains “front and centre” in the election.
