Judy Chu of California after the congresswoman claimed abortion was motivating voters Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Democrats say this issue should motivate voters, there\u2019s a New York Times\/Siena College poll that asked about the most important issues for voters,\u201d Blackwell said Chu. \u201cIt\u2019s still the economy, inflation. In fact, for Democrats and independents, abortion rights doesn\u2019t surpass inflation. It\u2019s behind the economy and political divisions and gun policy. Is there any evidence that abortion rights is a topic that is motivating the voters you need to show up in November?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I have never seen such anger, outrage and terror amongst women in this country everywhere I go,\u201d Chu, who introduced legislation that would secure the right to an abortion in all 50 states, responded. \u201cEverybody is talking about this and talking about what we can do about it. So, women are very motivated, as well as the men who support them, to change things. And, in fact, there have been nonstop demonstrations and rallies around the country since the Dobbs decision three weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The legislation passed the House by a 219 to 210 vote Friday, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/07\/15\/politics\/house-abortion-access-legislation-vote\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Blackwell pointed to polling data to push back on Chu\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, the polls show that the economy, inflation and the other list of items I just read there are what\u2019s really motivating voters more than abortion rights,\u201d Blackwell responded.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/24\/democrats-liberals-scotus-dobbs\/\">upheld<\/a> a Mississippi law that banned most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade. Democrats began <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/06\/24\/democratic-candidates-waste-no-time-begging-for-money-off-dobbs-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fundraising<\/a> off the Dobs decision almost immediately, but some efforts to use abortion to save Democratic majorities in the House and Senate appear to be falling flat, The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/3546857-why-some-arent-buying-democrats-go-vote-message-on-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, who runs the campaign committee for Democrats in the House of Representatives and President Joe Biden made statements vowing to protect abortion rights in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/ending-abortion-rights-supreme-court-lights-fire-2022-election-rcna35222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fall, Roe is on the ballot,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats are going to protect Roe v.
