The reversal of Roe and the Kansas abortion vote was emotionally resonant for Democratic voters in two HIT Strategies focus groups. In the two groups (one with Black Democratic voters and one with young Democratic voters) participants were deeply upset by the restrictions on reproductive care but said they were inspired by Kansas voters mobilizing against an anti-abortion ballot measure.
The first focus group was with Black “base” voters, ages 25+, who regularly turn out for Democrats. The second focus group was with young base voters, ages 18-25.
