A wave of state-level abortion bans began immediately following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling. 34 Democratic senators sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Saturday urging him to use the full power of his office to help shore up abortion rights. Biden and other top Democrats have been criticized on the left for telling Americans to vote if they don't agree with the court's decision. According to the Washington Post, Rep. Cori Bush said that they can't just tell people to vote. They look at us and say, "We already voted for you."
The Supreme Court's decision will have an impact on voter turnout, as Democratic strategists hope their base's anger over the ruling will increase voter turnout. After the ruling came out, the share of Democrats who said they were very enthusiastic about voting went up eight percentage points.
The White House has been urged to allow abortions on federal lands even in states where the procedure is against the law. Even if the abortions take place on federal property, people who aren't federal employees could still be prosecuted under state laws. Biden has refused to add justices to the Supreme Court in order to counterbalance the court's conservative tilt.
