I’m delighted that the cult is keeping their War on Women front and center for voters across the nation. It should help in keeping Defendant 1 from a return to power and may help the good guys retain the senate, win the house, and gain a few state legislatures in the process.

Vote freedom, Vote Democratic.

Are the :lion: and :bear: in their own trees?

Why would the language of an abortion rights amendment after cover all possible outcomes? I mean the legislators that banned abortions did it outright, did not taking into consideration of all the possibilities that happen when a pregnancy goes south. Possibilities like death to pregnant person if medical intervention is denied.

Today we submitted an initiative to put abortion rights on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. It takes 55% of the votes to adopt the amendment. So make that 9 for 9.

I’m confused why anyone talks about exceptions for rape and incest as if they were separate things. Everyone obviously means minor girls who were raped by their adult fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers or cousins.

Does a 36 year old woman who got knocked up by her 15 year old son, qualify for the special abortion hall-pass? Does a 20 year old woman impregnated by her 21 year old brother qualify for a special abortion hall pass? 16 sister - 14 brother? 14 sister - 16 cousin?

The only right answers are crystal clear:
Abortion should be legal for everyone.
Rape should be illegal for everyone.
Incest is gross, but the proper rape law would cover all the bases.
