The sooner all these abortion amendments can pass and make the issue non-salient for the GOP, the better.
If it falls just short of 60% in Florida DeSantis should go back to the 15 week ban as an acknowledgement that it's what the voters want. The party can't thwart the will of the people.
I'd like to see a similar ballot initiative for school vouchers, disappointing that CO amendment doesn't actually do that (it seems kind of pointless, but as signaling alone I hope it passes).
The two parties just have really unpopular positions on these issues (abortion, school choice) that special interest want to foist on them against the popular will.
