The Political Impact of Abortion on Republicans.

Abortion is becoming a transformative issue in American politics, particularly in states where it is on the ballot, and is creating problematic voter shifts for Republicans, particularly in the suburbs. The recent Wisconsin election, where abortion was a dominant factor, saw a liberal victory and an increase in turnout of about 50%. Abortion is turning suburban areas more Democratic, as seen in Wisconsin, Kansas, and Michigan, and is changing the political balance of power in key states. The issue is supercharging turnout, especially for Democrats, and is creating real problems for Republicans.
