Originally published at: The State-Level Effort To Protect Abortion Marches Forward Through Chaos
Abortion advocates’ ballot initiative in Arizona, to enshrine abortion access in the state’s constitution, is well on its way toward getting on the ballot in the fall. Today, the organizers behind the Arizona for Abortion Access group submitted 823,685 signatures to election officials — more than double the 383,923 needed to get a constitutional amendment…
Nice to see a sliver of good news after a gut-wrenching week. Protecting abortion access is not just politically savvy, but straight-up the right thing to do.

Today, the organizers behind the Arizona for Abortion Access group submitted 823,685 signatures to election officials — more than double the 383,923 needed to get a constitutional amendment question in front of voters.
And this is where the GQP have to be irretrievably and irrevocably tied to the reproductive nonsense that has gone on relentlessly for the last two years. Dobbs must be linked to the GQP,
making IVF illegal must be linked to the GQP, birth control (is it Griswold?) illegality must be linked to the GQP.
Don’t let the GQP control the narrative with all of this. It’s a Democratic standard and we cannot cede a millimeter in this discussion.

You could add the Border Bill. The bill that Donnie said they couldn’t pass because he wants a crack at it.

Proud to have gathered my 200+ signatures. Many got more, but barring rat-f*ckery, this will be on the Nov. ballot and will serve as a great GOTV motivator.

Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Which ever D is at the September debate looks at tRump with a sour/surprised look and asks, “Was that a fart or a shart?”
Let ABC try to cover. They may be able to equal CNN.
ETA. Add, “I know it was at least a fart because I heard it. Not quite SBD.”
Time to play by rethug rules
ETA2. Destroy all copies of this suggestion

underscoring a broader fear among evangelicals and other social conservatives that the party is poised to moderate its stance on abortion at the direction of former President Donald Trump.
Oh? Poised to moderate?
At the Donald Trump who said there has to be punishment for the woman? Or the Donald Trump who threw a few bucks at a rape victim for an abortion to get her out of his hair?
Admit it, Republicans. You distrust him, and deep down, you’re pro-choice too.

I know that Griswold gets all the attention here, but Baird v. Eisenstadt is just as important, as it allowed unmarried women access to birth control pills.
“Allowed” – Gawdalmighty that sticks in my craw.

MAGA chumps can’t see that the right that are taken away from libs are also being taken away from them. But their tribalism is strong; their “team” is winning at the moment. That’s all I have for today. Happy 4th.
