[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So they got what they wanted and are unhappy about it? Is that only because voters can undo it in November?

This is what I don't get: they got what they wanted! Are they upset that what they wanted is TOO strict?

Make it make sense.[/quote]

They got what they wanted, but they didn’t want it so close to the election. Reason being that a total ban is deeply unpopular, and is going to drive turnout in a way that will negatively impact Republicans on the ballot. Given the unreasonableness of this (not only the lack of exceptions, but the fact that this is based on a law from before Arizona was even a state), it is going to impact turnout not only in Arizona, but nationwide. People are getting a really good idea of what Republican control looks like, and by and large, they don’t like it. [/quote]

People can vote yes on abortion and still vote Republican. They are separate on the ballot[/quote]

That is such a remarkably stupid decision.  It’s like voting for Trump and his right wing judges and being shocked that they overturned Roe.  I mean sure you could vote yes on abortion and vote Republican.  But then don’t be surprised when those republicans figure out a new way to restrict abortion.  [/quote]

Exactly. Even in states that have passed referendums the Rs in those states are undoing them.

If Trump gets in abortion and contraception are GONE thanks to the Comstock law.[/quote]

Not enough people understand the Comstock law. Sure, Trump can say he's not for a national ban but the Comstock law makes all of that mute. But those who vote to YES on abortion and still vote Republican are either wealthy and think they will still be able to get an abortion (they won't) or believe MAGA propaganda about the latest "insert here" cultural issue.[/quote]
