DALLAS — Buoyed by the success of their counterparts in Kansas, Texas activists are determined to use November’s midterm elections to kick-start the restoration of abortion rights.
But they have a much heavier lift than progressives in Kansas, where women voters powered the approval of a referendum in favor of abortion rights. Texas ballots won’t include an up-or-down question on abortion, but there is a way to reverse the state’s ban: Fire Republican incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott and deliver the House and Senate to Democrats.
That’s unlikely to occur.
