      Half of them have rhetoric involving how bad getting the vote, equal rights, and ability to initiate divorce have been for women and society in general.

      Guess what they are really after…

    Can we please go back to requiring news headlines to have this kind of punny alliteration?

      Nope. They want to go for a national abortion ban now. For them, states rights only matter when it pertains to marginalizing people and infringing on freedoms.

        Yup. If the state wants to make it OK to own someone else, that’s fine. If a state wants children to work, that’s fine. But if they want to legalize weed and give women bodily autonomy? No!

          Don’t forget, the slave states were all for forcing free states to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act in the run up to the failed rebellion. Classic bad faith rhetoric from the right.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Don’t mess with our right to choose or you’ll reap sour returns at the ballot box for a generation.

    Sixty-five percent of Gen Z women-identifying and non-binary respondents in our recent survey identified abortion as a critical issue for them.

    In April, Wisconsin voters turned out in huge numbers to appoint a state Supreme Court judge.

    Abortion was also a central issue in both the Pennsylvania Supreme Court race and Virginia’s legislative elections.

    In Pennsylvania, voters elected Dan McCaffrey, an outspoken defender of abortion rights, to the state Supreme Court.

    IGNITE’s new research — conducted between April and June — shows Gen Z women are prioritizing abortion, mass shootings and mental health at the polls.


    The original article contains 642 words, the summary contains 108 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    The problem is that women and men who vote to protect abortion are ALSO voting for the same fascists as always. These abortion votes aren’t impacting the down ballot races like they should.

    There seems to be a pretty big group of folks that are okay with fascism as long as it doesn’t directly impact them.

      Yes they are. Nationwide, Democrats have been outperforming polls by 9+ points since RvW was overturned. The #GOP lost 13 out of 15 special elections that were held between General Elections & they just lost Virginia completely. Youngkin has an expiration date.

      Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you frame the candidates. In my state, the court races were talked about as preserving abortion rights and dems dominated.

    Democrats have been outperforming polls nationwide by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

    Current polls (and polling methods) are garbage, especially this far out from the election.
