A new poll says 69% of voters favor the upcoming abortion rights initiative, although one political science warned that support could fall closer to the election. About 23% are against Amendment 4 while 8% are unsure or didn’t give an answer, according to the survey of 774 likely voters done by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL). UNF political science professor Michael Binder said Amendment 4 had higher support compared to other initiatives that would legalize marijuana or make School Board races partisan. The abortion rights question had also grown in support compared to November, when only 62% said they would vote in favor of Amendment 4.

All this tells me is that there are far too many single issue voters in this country with this being one of them either for or against. Which is why I would like to see ranked choice voting and open primaries.
Unfortunately that’s true. 14 GOP-led states have turned down federal money to feed low-income kids in the summer. Here's why
The upside? Trump and the USSC may have inadvertently destroyed Pro Life as a national political issue. It's not on the R platform anymore and almost every state that puts one of these measures on the ballot sees the measure pass, basically ending the debate in that state. Once this plays out nationally, they'll have Alabama and Mississippi and that's about it.
