Last Tuesday, voters across the country approved measures to protect abortion rights, while rejecting the presidential candidate who claimed to champion those same rights.
Kate Zernike, who covers the issue for The Times, explains that gap and what it tells us about the new politics of abortion.

How could Kamala/Joe strip away rights of safety and fairness from women and girls by amending Title IX, then expect them to vote for Kamala on abortion? Many women voted against women and girls being thrown under the bus of gender ideology. Until the Democrats accept that, they will never win again.
