    Anti-abortion advocates scored a big win on June 24, 2022, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. But since then, their luck seems to have run out.

    Abortion has been on the ballot in seven states since that landmark court decision one year ago and in each instance, in red states and blue states, anti-abortion advocates have lost.

    In some instances, voters have approved state constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights. In others, they’ve rejected measures that would weaken protections or make explicit in the state constitution that abortion rights are not protected.

      I hate that phrasing. Their “luck” didn’t run out. That does not describe what happened at all
