Democrats are hoping that initiatives to enshrine abortion rights in several states will help them galvanize voters and lead them to an electoral victory. They have reasons to feel this way, as abortion rights have proven to be a winning issue, never having lost when put on the ballot.
Florida is among the states that will become a battleground, as the state Supreme Court recently approved both a six-week abortion ban (a time when most women don't know whether they are pregnant) and a motion to vote on expanding rights in November.
