Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: If there was any lingering doubts about President Biden’s commitment to abortion rights, he squashed them on Friday.
“These are the laws that not only put women’s lives at risk, these are the laws that will cost lives,” he said. “And in a number of these states, the laws are so extreme they have raised the threat of criminal penalties for doctors and health care providers. They’re so extreme that many don’t allow for exceptions, even for rape or incest.” He showed real anger relaying the story of a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio who was forced to go out of state to obtain an abortion.
The same trend is apparent by party affiliation, with Democrats becoming more activated on the issue. In the immediate aftermath of the Dobbs decision, 43% of Democrats say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, compared with 17% in the fall of 2020. Independents have become eleven percentage points more likely to say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their abortion views , but Republicans have held steady .
