APPRECIATION THREAD FOR THE WOMEN OF KANSAS

[BOSSHOG]

who voted against tyranny and who shared a message with garbage like Sammy Alito. I predict some fecal material is gonna spread itself all over the Catholic Church in Kansas which should lose its tax exempt status post haste.

YOU GO GIRLS! You did it. The Right thing.

[EnergizedLib]

1. My only regret

Is I couldn’t stand with those women and vote no myself since I’m not in Kansas.

[BOSSHOG]

5. You were here Energizedlib

We felt your support. Conservatives keep trying to trick fuck smart people and failing. Insanity. My wife and I are two old (maybe hippies) people. And we know you were in Kansas today.

[EnergizedLib]

12. Well, thank you

I’m happy to be here in spirit when even red state Kansas knows forced birth is a losing issue.

But it never should’ve come to this. A person’s rights shouldn’t be up for a vote. Ever. This is a decision between a woman and her doctor.

[Blue dot in KS]

2. I voted no today for my wife and daughters

[Deuxcents]

8. I did not see your post when I entered mine.

It takes all of us for this to happen

[BOSSHOG]

13. Welcome aboard blue dot.

Glad to have ya with us. If we can’t take care of each other then why show up?

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. Thanks also to the men of Kansas!

Your Missouri neighbor is very proud of you tonight.

Welcome to du!

[wryter2000]

3. Women and men

Lots of men are at least as good as women for equal right.

[Deuxcents]

6. You beat me to it..

[BlueSpot]

7. Agree

Appreciation for the PEOPLE of Kansas.

Don't allow them to insert a wedge among right-thinking people.

[Deuxcents]

4. Gotta thank their male partners, fathers, sons, friends, too.

Yes, a big win for all who wanted their reproductive rights to remain their choice

[BOSSHOG]

10. I'm an old guy

And I voted for all women. If I chose not to I wouldn’t deserve my vote. But I have seen in recent years women leading the charge. For what is right.

[Deuxcents]

15. And you are our supporter...

We’re all in this together, as they say but it’s true. 🙏

[MuseRider]

9. They just called it on TV!

Women are equal and should be treated that way. This is part of it, only part but damn it feels good. When my tiny voting place in my tiny little space was too full to find a place to park at the church to vote I knew there was going to be a blow out, I just had no idea which way it would go. I suspected it but was not sure. This feels so good, it has been a while since this feeling could even surface.

We can continue to provide for Kansas and other states that can come and use our facilities. I think it was 50% of all abortions in Kansas recently were from out of state.

Kansas has some strong herstories. This really should not be that unusual it is just that recently they have won everything. They better worry more now.

30. Did you feel the energy in the room as you sat down with the ballot?

I did and man! It blew me away! I felt the weight of all the women who had sat in my chair and all those people around me. Hubby was there near me, voting NO right along with me.

We felt the weight of History (Herstory) on our side! Yea, Kansas! We started out as a Free State; may we forever stay a Free State!

[MuseRider]

39. I felt power.

We don't get to sit down but I felt my neighbors around me and the women working there were all fully there in awareness. I had not really thought about that part but you are right.

My relatives were free staters and lived where I have ended up. It is like how can you not feel power living here? Power and striving for equality for all people. Others come in and poop on it but we do dig out of it. It took a good long time this time but here we are. We have been reborn. I hesitate to think what it would be like here if they just tried to slam it all down now.

The sweet taste of freedom!

[slightlv]

46. I figure they'll come back at us with something

but we'll shut that down too. Tonight, it's a time for celebrating. It took Blue, Red, and Purple working together to shut this thing down. It took both women and men. There's more unity here than "they" ever dreamed!

[H2O Man]

11. Recommended.

Extremely impressive!

[slumcamper]

14. You ROCK.

The nation thanks you!!!!

[onecaliberal]

16. A huge thanks to everyone who voted NO.

[2 Meow Momma]

17. I held my breath practically all day just hoping for a favorable turnout!

I’m just so happy that a real statement was made today in Kansas.

[Demsrule86]

18. Thank you women of Kansas you started something that will carry is to victory in the fall.

[Skittles]

20. I'm thinking plenty of male voters voted too

not every repuke is comfortable with fascism, we would hope.....

[BOSSHOG]

23. I was one of them Skittles

Conservatives like to beat up on women. At their own peril. We (the good guys) should support women at every opportunity. Even the ones who apparently don’t give a damn about their own liberties.

[Skittles]

28. yes

I have noticed that all too often, male repukes are sniveling little gun humping cowards who are OH SO THREATENED by strong women

[USALiberal]

25. All 5 of my family voted NO, voting was heavy! Nt

[Skittles]

29. OUTSTANDING

and THANK YOU!

[ChazInAz]

38. I was one.

Bright and early in Atchison.
This makes me happy.

[Skittles]

42. thank you Chaz

we need all the help we can get to defeat fascism

[Demovictory9]

22. ..

[USALiberal]

24. The men too!

[Jade Fox]

40. +1

[peggysue2]

26. Kudos to the citizens of Kansas

Registration went through the roof, voter turn out was massive and your voices have been heard across the entire country.

Thank you!

[spanone]

27. ...K&R...

[SergeStorms]

31. To Kansas women....

and the men who love them, congratulations. Well done.

[calimary]

32. You won a BIG one for women all over the country!

You did it!

THANK YOU!!!

[mountain grammy]

33. Thank you Kansas

Tonight I feel hopeful!

[SunSeeker]

34. Thank you!

[Karma13612]

35. Thank you Kansas

For kicking ass!!!

I wish this issue could be a referendum in each state where abortion is in peril. The legislatures are voting against women in many cases.

But when the public is asked to vote directly on the issue, they just tell I like it is!!!!

[Sky Jewels]

36. ...

[MontanaMama]

37. Kansas gave me boatload of hope today.

Montana’s thug Governor is coming for women’s bodily autonomy per today’s newspaper. Kansas showed us how it’s done. I’ll be fighting here in Montana.

[Straw Man]

41. That's the way to do it.

A vote for freedom.

[Jade Fox]

43. The Kansas win is so heartening...

Thank you Kansas voters!!

I still believe overturning Roe and trying to make reproductive freedom illegal is the dumbest move the current GOP could possibly make

[NBachers]

44. We are all Kansans tonight!

[KS Toronado]

45. And in the weeks running up to today's vote

TV MSM and my local newspaper were all talking like we were gonna lose. Personally I felt it was going
to be closer but really glad to see a blowout in our favor. Hopefully the DNC is paying attention that all
hope is not lost in red states and starts putting more effort in red states to turn them BLUE.

[BOSSHOG]

47. And weren't those pro life tv ads just so precious.

And mendacious. I thought “they” were getting desperate with their advertising in the last week or and thinking that they were going to piss off who they didn’t want to piss off.

I would have loved to have been in their last meetings mulling over internal polling data.
