Will Voters Be Motivated by Abortion? Or Is It Just Democrats Wishcasting?

The Democratic Party has had a pretty significant shift in its talking points in the wake of the Dobbs decision from the Supreme Court. With Roe v. Wade overturned and the issue of regulating abortion returned to the voters, Democrats have lost one of the central sacraments of their political faith.
It’s pretty clear that Democrats think the issue will be a motivator for voters in the November midterms, pointing to recent polling on the issue, and as Axios reports, it’s fast becoming the biggest plank in Democratic candidates’ platforms, even overtaking January 6 as a key issue for many candidates’ sites.
Axios got a first look at websites that Democrats’ House and Senate campaign arms launched Monday — less than 72 hours after the Supreme Court ruling — blasting GOP candidates’ abortion records.
Democrats see it as a mobilizing issue for suburban women in swing House districts across the country.
The House Democratic (DCCC) site is called “Extreme GOP.”
The Senate Democrats’ (DSCC) site is: “This is the GOP on Abortion.”
Likewise, you have folks like S.E. Cupp on CNN proclaiming that the end of Roe is going to signal the end of the GOP.

For example, just yesterday the Associated Press reported that more than one million voters have switched their party affiliation to the Republican Party.
