Subject: Re:Roe v Wade struck down
I am an avid pro-choice advocate.
20 years ago my husband said to me that the best thing that could happen to the Dems is for Roe to be overturned. At the time I was horrified.
It turns out he might have been right. People do not like to have rights taken away. Shocking.
(I'm still horrified at what the overturing of Roe has wrought. Women are suffering irreparable harm everywhere.)

The voters of everywhere are onto them. Prior to all of these draconian bans being enacted in red states you had doctors and activists predicting things like rape victims being forced to continue pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies not being treated properly, women being thrown in jail for miscarriages, women being forced to carry and deliver babies that would die a horrible death at birth, women being told that they needed to be sicker in order to access abortion services when the life of the mother exception was being applied, birth control and Plan B denials, and the list goes on.
Conservatives consistently described this as scare-mongering and hysteria, and then lo and behold, every single one of the above things happened - and happened very quickly after Dobbs, meaning they are not rare occurrences, but more like every day experiences. They even went after a doctor who spoke out about a 10 year old rape victim who could get an abortion in Ohio, not to mention the herculean effort to deny and try to disprove that it happened.
I think the Ohio GOP will still try to block the state constitutional right, and they may succeed. The GOP is really on the precipice of losing about half of the electorate in the foreseeable future.

I wandered over to r/conservative to see what the regressives were howling about and read some of the threads about abortion. They’re not taking this well, at all. Some of them have the awareness that they’ve lost the next several elections, though they haven’t put in the work to figure out why they support something so egregiously oppressive of human rights. Some of them just do not understand any of it at all and spout nothing but the same forced birther rhetoric they were taught by their forced birther parents.
And some, if you want your spirits lifted, are getting frustrated with the GOP’s obsession on this point to the extent that they say they don’t even want to vote anymore. I doubt that but stranger things have happened.

It should not be. But the wake up call that the right is absolutely trying to impose strict conservative religious beliefs on everyone is ringing loud and clear. And all of the muddy sideways underhanded tactics to try to do it by messing with the language of referendums or messing with the number of votes needed to pass referendums are ringing alarm bells.
The voters on motivated and on high alert to get out there and protect their rights, last election and every election day in the foreseeable future.
