Supporters of Legal Abortion Are Divided on Strategy in 2024

The Politico article includes a chart showing states where each of seven pro-abortion groups are either committed to funding a campaign or are considering funding a campaign.  Six of the seven groups have committed to fund a campaign in Arizona, presumably because Arizona is a potential swing state in the 2024 presidential election.  None of the groups are investing in deep-blue states, including Maryland and New York, likely because they are confident of victory there.

Only two groups have committed to fund campaigns in Missouri, Montana, and Colorado, and only one has committed to fund a campaign in Nebraska. Interestingly, none are considering investing in either South Dakota or Arkansas. Some pro-abortion groups have indicated that their reason for not investing in Arkansas is that they are unhappy that the ballot proposition would legalize abortion only up to 20 weeks’ gestation. However, a more likely reason is that they simply do not think they can win in a solidly conservative state.

This should give some cheer to those who view the electoral battleground more pessimistically.
