Three states have protected abortion rights with their constitutions and it was the electorate who get the credit. How will Democrats campaign in 2024 without this key issue which is all they had to cling to.
Voters in California, Vermont and Michigan approved ballot initiatives to protect abortion rights, so there is little for a Democrat to "protect" or "fight for".
As ballot initiatives, there was no legislation, no negotiation, no real action from the elected officials, especially in Michigan with its renegade ballot initiative process.
These developments will put pressure on the Democrats to show any achievements in 2024, because abortion rights are secure in these states, and made secure without the help of the Democrats elected on that campaign plank.
