Answer

There is much to be distracted by in American politics: contentious primary races, a war of choice in Iran, a congressman accused of abusing a sitting Republican senator’s daughter, and the general malaise that is life under a second Trump administration. So the average American voter might be forgiven for not maintaining a laser focus on the fragile state of abortion rights in America.
