Abortion rights groups have had a fundraising edge. Midterms to test if dollars can turn into votes.

• Abortion rights groups saw an uptick in donations following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion.
• Since 2018, abortion rights PACs raised $23.4 million as anti-abortion groups gained $9.5 million.
• Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Florida have passed laws restricting abortion.

When a draft Supreme Court decision that would overturn the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade circulated this month, activists got to work rallying their bases.

NARAL Pro Choice America, which along with allies had already promised to spend $150 million to influence the upcoming midterm elections, sent out fundraising emails asking for emergency donations.

Students for Life Action, which takes credit for helping pass 18 different state laws limiting abortion aside from Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban that is now in front of the Supreme Court, saw more money come in and announced a transition to a 50-state plan.

In the race for campaign money, the abortion rights side has long been winning, but the anti-abortion side has recruited people to stand outside abortion clinics and used that same grassroots support to back state laws restricting abortion.
