Many abortion rights supporters are frustrated with Democrats

NPR  

Many abortion rights supporters are frustrated with Democrats Many who support abortion rights say they have already been voting and that Democrats haven't prioritized protecting abortion rights. Abortion rights supporters want the Senate to blow up the filibuster, but Democrats haven't unified behind that idea, and Biden hasn't pushed for it. KURTZLEBEN: With Roe overturned, Democratic candidates like Sarah Godlewski running for Senate in Wisconsin will be working to show voters that, no, seriously, they will prioritize protecting abortion rights if elected. KURTZLEBEN: While this anger is prominent in the abortion rights movement, there's also an acknowledgement that some supporters grew complacent during the half-century that Roe was in effect.
