Recent polls indicate that Donald Trump's stance on abortion remains a contentious issue, with challenges from Democrats and independents. Florida emerges as a key battleground for abortion rights discussions, with Kamala Harris addressing the topic in Jacksonville amidst a 6-week ban. Republicans in congressional races are adjusting their positions on abortion due to public backlash and electoral outcomes, moving away from strict limits. The shift in stance follows voter opposition to stringent abortion regulations in previous election cycles, either through supporting abortion access measures or rejecting candidates advocating for stricter limits. Activists in Arkansas are pushing for a direct vote on abortion, challenging the prevailing pro-life sentiment in the state.
