In their first convention since the end of federal abortion protections, Democrats have made reproductive health care access a central theme throughout the event. This strategic move aims to mobilize voters and drive turnout for candidates in the upcoming November elections.
Unlike previous conventions, this year's Democratic gathering has featured discussions on reproductive freedom every night. The focus on abortion access has been particularly pronounced, given the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision of 2022.
