Abortion Becomes Key Election Issue for Young Women

A new survey reveals that abortion has overtaken inflation as the top concern for women under 30 in the upcoming presidential election.

The KFF survey shows a significant increase in young women prioritizing abortion, with nearly 40% naming it their top issue, up from 20% in the spring.
Vice President Kamala Harris has made abortion rights a central theme of her campaign, contrasting with former President Donald Trump's appointments that led to the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Two-thirds of women believe the election outcome will significantly impact abortion rights, with most Democratic women supporting Harris's stance.
The survey indicates a surge in motivation to vote among women, particularly Democrats, since Harris became the Democratic nominee.
Upcoming state-level elections and ballot measures in nine states could further influence abortion rights, with potential constitutional protections at stake.
