Republican narrative
SCOTUS has made it clear that states have the constitutional right to determine the legality of abortion and that is what's happening in Idaho. The DOJ's interference with state law is another example of Biden overreaching his powers and undermining federalism, while continuing to ignore issues that really should demand his attention like immigration and inflation.
Democratic narrative
The Idaho abortion ban conflicts with federal law and puts ideology above patient safety. Reproductive freedom is a fundamental right and Idaho's restrictive law is a dangerous display of control. Abortion should not be criminalized.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 6% chance that abortion will be banned nationally in the United States before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
