Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to abortion, battles over abortion rights in states have revealed a conflict with democratic processes. Republican officials and anti-abortion activists are challenging election results and attempting to limit the power of state courts. Despite voters' support for abortion rights in seven states, some Republicans are defying the outcomes. This has raised concerns about the erosion of democratic practices and public faith in institutions.
