Now abortion has become a huge issue in 2019 -- far bigger than I have seen at any point in my adult life.

It seemed to have started with what New York did, and now we are getting extremism on both sides, neither of which is particularly appealing to the average voter.
scaremongering? it's literally on the verge of happening
Druff is in total denial that abortion rights haven’t been a major presidential campaign issue since 1992. 1992 was the *beginning* of when it was important. Every presidential race since then has seen the Dems and the GOP rallying voters to the polls for their candidate to win in order for their party to have control over whether pro-choice or anti-abortion judges would be nominated to the Supreme Court. And they’ve also done so for Senste races given that the Senate controls whether a nominee gets approved to join SCOTUS.
