| Forced birthers should be forced to contribute 1/4 of their annual income to support these unwanted babies to age 22 (4 years of college). As well as supporting these women during pregnancy and 6 months postpartum. If this were the case, pro lifters would disappear. |
They also seem blissfully aware that most women who have abortions already have children. They know the drill. They know what they can’t handle, can’t afford. |

Posting from Ohio:
You guys, it’s not looking good. I’m seeing so much support for changing our constitution. They are running commercials saying that a yes vote is protecting kids from trans sex change operations. Once it’s changed, there is no going back this lifetime. Our state is gerrymandered out of control, and the courts have no impact. Our maps are ruled unconstitutional and the legislature just shrugs. It’s lawless and hopeless. |
You got this Ohio. I am far far away and even I understand that a no vote is pro choice and a yes vote is forced birth. Go Ohio! The women of Ohio deserve respect and the right to make their own reproductive choices. |

So I’m super excited about all the pro-choice/ enshrining Roe at the state level (even if I am livid that my rights have to be “voted” in when making my own healthcare decisions should absolutely be a constitutional right). But still happy the pendulum is heading in the right direction.
I have a legal question. Since some of these state referendums are related to state constitutions, what happens if the Republicans take the house and senate, get rid of the filibuster and pass a nation-wide abortion ban. Can federal law override a state constitution? I’m trying to figure out how scared I should remain for women in our country. |
No way in HELL GOP takes the House. You are wasting your time even thinking about it But, if you are scared, you can complain here on this board or you can actually do SOMETHING to help Dems remain in power. If you can't volunteer, give $$$. The BESY bang for your buck is to give to the state Dem party in a swing state. Your money will be spent on boots-on-the-ground, long-term work. Giving to a Senate campaign basically means TV ads. Give monthly so parties can plan. It's better to give $10 per month rather than a one time chunk of say $150. Best run state parties are Ohio (as we just saw, they crushed it, and this helps Sherrod Brown) and WI (Ben Wickler is an awesome party chair). Next is PA, AZ and maybe FL. |
