David French suggested that Democrats’ progressive agenda could be alienating Hispanic voters who hold traditional values.

The Catholic Latino base is traditionally partiarchal; muy macho. Younger, educated latinos, not so much.

Evidence: In 2023 Mexico's Supreme Court threw out all federal criminal penalties for abortion Wednesday, ruling that national laws prohibiting the procedure are unconstitutional and violate women's rights in a sweeping decision that extended Latin American's trend of widening abortion access.
