The Spin
Left narrative
This funding is essential in fighting back against the massive assault on women's reproductive rights that's sweeping the nation. Recent developments indicate that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, the US could see a nationwide ban on abortions, stripping millions of women of their rights. Pro-choice democrats need to be elected at all levels of government.
Right narrative
The midterms are predicted to be a bloodbath for the Democrats, and this political funding is not going to change anything. Democrats like to talk about women's rights, but what about the rights of unborn children, which are infringed upon every year by abortionists across the country?
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that Democrats will hold at most 48 seats in the US Senate after the 2022 midterm election, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
