ATLANTA — The decisive vote in Kansas to protect abortion rights was quickly embraced by Georgia Democrats as evidence that the backlash to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade could alter a midterm election climate that favors the GOP.
But perhaps no candidate on Georgia’s November ballot has leaned into that argument more than Stacey Abrams, who is working to energize new voters in a rematch against Gov. Brian Kemp that polls show is tilting slightly toward the incumbent.
Within the last week, she rolled out a biting new 30-second ad featuring women blasting Kemp for signing a newly enacted law that restricts abortion as early as six weeks, before most women know they’re pregnant.
