Decide if you want your marriage to die on this hill. I would be super annoyed if my DH asked me to do this crap. As if I already don’t have million things on my plate.

Also-do you know these babies/women who have died? You are creating scenarios in your head. Yes there are a few states who have gone out of their way to make it harder but those same states never made it easy in the first place. For example, some of those states had one clinic-one. Let’s say that place was 3 hours from the person who needed it-it’s just as much work for them to go there as it is to drive over to another state where it’s easier.

Fun fact-I had an abortion when I was 17. In NC when you needed parent authorization at that time. I actually drove to DC to get it. And that was way before Roe was reversed. Just something to think about. it’s not like it was always super easy before.

“Fun fact-I had an abortion when I was 17.”

You people are truly demented. Even if you are pro-choice, treating an abortion like a cool anecdote, like that time you went whitewater rafting, is callous and disgusting.

This is why there has never been a reasonable consensus. Liberals simply went too far in the other direction and act like getting an abortion is the same as getting a haircut.

Instead of acknowledging the very real feelings that many anti-abortion folks have about how complicated of an issue it is, and then it is always tragic but sometimes necessary. Obviously I can’t prove it but I think the right wouldn’t have dug their heels in so hard if the left hadn’t been so flippant.

Your dh is being realistic. You are redirecting your anxiety about the election into anger at him. This is a you problem, not a him problem.

I agree with the above, that this is a projection. I’m with you in spirit, OP - I think I’m more agitated than my spouse, to the extent that I’m seriously suggesting that we move abroad if Trump is reelected, but demanding action beyond voting is a big ask.

I think trump is a petulant vengeful baby who brings out the worst and appeals to the worst in humanity and cannot believe he is on the ticket (have voted both ways in the past but trump to me is next level insane). Trying to get dh to do canvassing/ phone banking but he doesn’t want to and is not concerned bc ‘it’s fine’ and ‘Kamala will win’. Clearly the polls do not clearly show this and to me his disinterest is personal - so many more women and babies have died since roe reversed. I just feel like he is a weenie not to be as fired up as I am or at least in the ballpark of it. Anyone else?
