Euphoric two years ago, US anti-abortion movement is now divided and worried as election nears

0
Just two years ago, leading anti-abortion activists were euphoric after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, thus ending the nationwide right to abortion. Now, with a presidential election fast approaching, their movement is disunited and worried. Within their ranks, there is second-guessing and finger-pointing, plus fears that Election Day might provide new proof that their cause is broadly unpopular. There is dismay over the movement’s recent seven-state losing streak on abortion-related ballot measures, with similar measures on the Nov. 5 ballot in nine more states. And there's anger over the inconsistent rhetoric on abortion coming from the Republican presidential ticket of Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance.
