Dobbs Effect

US Supreme Court Justice Alito said that Dobbs overturning Roe left the issue to voters. Abortion rights supporters have an unbroken streak of 7 statewide initiatives that have passed since Dobbs. On November 7th, voters are said to have voted to support a woman’s right to choose by (1) supporting Ohio’s constitutional amendment supporting a woman’s right to choose (2) re-electing Democrats to the Virginia Senate preventing an abortion ban (3) re-electing Kentucky’s Democratic Governor (4) Pennsylvania voters maintaining a state Supreme Court led by a majority of Democrats. Isaac Newton and physics predicted this- every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
