It's not exactly shocking that elected officials don't always represent the preferences of the majority of their constituents. It is interesting that red states such as Kansas and Ohio (yes, Ohio is a red state now, not a purple one) have delivered similar results on the abortion issue. Unfortunately, being opposed to abortion is still going to be a litmus test for GOP presidential candidates, as I don't think opposition to it is a majority opinion in this nation.
