Abortion is back on the menu as states take the wheel
Since the Supreme Court tossed federal protections, the fight has just moved to the local level.
Ever since the Supreme Court dropped the Dobbs decision, the whole country has been playing a game of legislative whack-a-mole. It turns out that when you pull the rug out from under national standards, you just end up with a patchwork of rules that change the second you cross a state line.
Now, four states are putting the issue directly to the voters this November. It’s basically a massive, decentralized experiment in democracy where people get to decide their own medical autonomy at the ballot box. Forget relying on D.C. to figure it out; apparently, the power is now squarely in the hands of whoever is filling out a bubble sheet in the voting booth.
The irony of shifting federal power to the states is that everyone is now forced to become an expert on their local constitutional law just to know their rights.
