I'll bet we never find out how many were denied the ability to vote because of registration purges, bomb threats, and other malicious voter suppression.

But the fact that states both voted for abortion access at the state level and then also voted in all Republicans who will pass a national ban shows the voting population is stupid enough that this was the likely outcome anyway.

Fuck this country.

I think the Republican voters are to stupid or just in denial that Congress would ever vote for an abortion ban, even though they've clearly signaled they would. My boss is very right wing and last night he said to me that he thought it was weird all the commercials he saw for Sherrod Brown here in Ohio mentioned protecting abortion when it's legal here. When I said a nation ban would supercede our state constitution he just straight told me Congress would pass a national ban.

I literally heard an interview with a woman who said she voted Republican because, on the one hand, abortion "isn't that big of a deal" and ought to be left up to the states, but on the other, "doctors shouldn't be allowed to abort babies after they're born."

So this person thinks that doctors are murdering babies... and that should be allowed on a state by state basis. Which... boy oh boy, I'm not sure what to even do with a mind that works that way.

I saw a comment earlier from a person who thinks abortion is chopping up a baby inside the womb and then sucking out the pieces.
