Abortion pill rulings bring the issue back to the forefront

Recent court rulings on abortion pill access have reignited a contentious political issue in a midterm year.

A federal appeals court restricted mail access to mifepristone pills, a common abortion method.

The Supreme Court then temporarily restored access on Monday.

It’s too early to say whether the rulings will affect the outcome of races this year, when issues around affordability are expected to take top billing for voters.

But advocates on both sides hope it will sway voters their way.

Some abortion rights groups are strategizing ways to reach voters who may be more motivated to turn out for Democrats.

Abortion opponents warn their typically loyal Republican voters are frustrated the Trump administration hasn't done more to ban abortion.
