Anti-abortion Democrats could face dwindling resources and primary challenges as abortion becomes a more prominent issue heading into the 2020 elections. Jayapal, who co-chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), reportedly called for "strong primary challenges" against candidates who weren't as bold on that issue. Her comments came as Democrats' position on abortion came under greater scrutiny in the lead-up to 2020. The party also spotlighted the issue as Republican legislatures have passed highly restrictive pro-life legislation that Democrats blasted as "extreme." Democrats appeared divided on the issue with 60 percent favoring considerable limits on abortion, a Marist poll revealed in January.
