  • Expect Democrats to make abortion rights a dominant theme in 2024.
  • A recent Wisconsin election offered the latest example of the issue winning big with voters.
  • The Democratic party chair there says it's "vital" that party members convey their position.

You probably won't need to guess what politicians think about abortion when you vote in 2024. 

Expect Democrats to make sure of that, especially after a recent Wisconsin election further demonstrated the power of abortion rights at the ballot box.

Janet Protasiewicz, a progressive Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge backed by Democrats, crushed her conservative opponent in a nonpartisan state Supreme Court race by an 11-percentage-point margin after making her personal views supporting abortion rights clear.
