Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome of Tuesday’s intense, off-year election was the latest blow for abortion opponents.
I think you misinterpreted what they said. They were implying the MAGA crowd may feel confident voting MAGA again now that abortion is enshrined in the constitution. Many of them may vote for all kinds of things, but abortion rights are fairly popular.
I guess I’m just not aware of how MAGAs feel about abortion. To me they’ve always seemed aligned with Christian conservatives (chrito-fasicists) in that abortion should be illegal. I could be convinced otherwise, if there was data to show it.
I’m not totally sure on the far right, but republican voters, particularly women, generally still want abortion rights protected. It’s why so many elections have been favorable to democrats lately. I’m not sure why the hell republican politicians still do things like they do with abortion and weed, for example, that Republicans generally are in favor of.
I’ve seen some realize their mistake, but yeah I think you’re right that a lot of the MAGAs don’t really care. That said, a good number probably decided to just stay home if I had to guess. I haven’t seen any data though.

I think the thread here is that maybe they care about abortion, or maybe they don’t, but they very much care about winning power through elections.
And they know they’ve been on the loser side of the abortion issue. They’re ready to drop it and move on.

Is that really because of the MAGAs? I mean it could be. I just haven’t seen the polling that proves it.

I interpreted it as non-MAGA voters will stay home now
