Democrats have made no secret of the fact that they plan to run on abortion in this year’s elections. (What else are they going to run on? Bidenomics?) They are ramping up efforts in a number of traditionally red states to put the issue on the ballot, most recently in Mississippi and Missouri. Unfortunately, Republicans are being drawn into these battles and not always in ways that come off as flattering. That’s particularly true in Mississippi, where conservatives are not fighting to win the argument, but instead attempting to use legislative maneuvers to keep the question from being put to the test at all.

Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.
Democrats and abortion rights advocates…
