We have been praising the women of Kansas but men voted NO too? Didn't they?

[question everything]

[Phoenix61]

1. Good point and of course they did! nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. What I want to know is

How many people in Kansas voted in 2018 midterms?

Then we will compare that to how many voted yesterday in the Women’s reproductive rights proposition.

I will look it up but maybe someone else knows.

5. I thought MSNBC reported 2018 was between 300-400k nt

[JustAnotherGen]

9. and what? 900K or thereabout

Yesterday?

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. Great news then

[spooky3]

15. This could have been the prior primaries number. Sorry! Nt

[Johnny2X2X]

8. Kind of apples to oranges

This wasn't the mid term, this was the primaries, but had a ballot initiative too. So 2018 saw a million people show up to vote for their November election, but that was the one for governor and all their House seats. This was just for primaries. 900,000 voted on the Abortion question, almost as many as voted for governor in 2018. That's really pretty incredible.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Good! That's what I want to hear

[question everything]

14. The talking heads noted that primaries, especially in August, often do not entice

many voters away from the beach, or vacation, so the number there was quite impressive.

3. I have noticed leaders of the fight consistently using the word "people."

[Jerry2144]

6. Right. Because abortion rights affect all humans

Not just cis women. Some men and some non binary people can get pregnant and need these services. Removing abortion rights affect all people, not just those who can get or are pregnant. That’s why the leaders say people and not women.

4. Some of us did

I voted last week, to beat the rush.

[Shrek]

7. When I voted yesterday I didn't notice any disproportion

The line was pretty much split 50/50, plus a lot of kids since I voted mid-morning and young parents brought them along to the polling place. You don't see so much of that when you vote on the way to or from work or on your lunch hour.

[Mister Ed]

10. Of course they did. But the day belongs to women.

Let them bask in their victory while their allies proudly look on.

[Tree-Hugger]

16. This nt

[Kaleva]

13. The exit polling data will be interesting.

[wryter2000]

17. We forget sometimes

That the national figurehead for the forced birth movement is a woman. Huge numbers of men support abortion rights, and not just because it affects them personally.

[AKwannabe]

18. Makes me wonder if you're male

Who fucking cares?
Men are at the heart of this stupidity.
They don’t need your “relevance”.

Hold women up for crying out loud.
Men’s rights are NOT in question - EVER.

FFS!

[AKwannabe]

19. Additionally

Were you trying to compete with this OP?

https://democraticunderground.com/100216994900

I rec’d the above. But your OP is a sham!

1. Because it’s not really an OP as a one liner and
2. Because it is a KICK IN THE TEETH to women and our rights.
3. BOTHSIDERISM (remember that?)

FFS!

20. I don't know, did they?

Google is your friend.
