Abortion Rights are a winning issue...
That doesn't mean GOP voters will vote Democratic.
In a recent poll, ONLY 24% of Republican voters are against abortion in all cases.
74% favor some level of legal abortion.

It's important to understand WHO the GOP is made of. Only a subset of a subset, the Fundamentalist Christians are against abortion.
A large part of the GOP include the "stay out of my business" and "no big gov't" types...
I don't see it as a Red/Blue issue... and neither does the polling.
Trump will win OH by high single digits again next year... and abortion rights WILL be written into the State Constitution. They're not mutually exclusive.
