Several states where reproduction rights are at risk are seeing a surge in women registering to vote following the Supreme Courts decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case, abolishing the constitutional right to abortion.
An analysis by TargetSmart Insights, a Democratic political data and data services firm, found that women are out-registering men by significant margins in states where reproductive rights are in danger of being repealed, such as Kansas, Wisconsin and Michigan.
In Kansas, women out-registered men by 40 percent, making 70 percent of all new registrants women. Earlier this month, voters in the state rejected a proposed amendment that would have paved the way for the Republican-led state legislature to ban the procedure.
However, Kansas was not the only state to see an increase in female voter registration.

Fine by me if red states get bluer.
