Kansas republican woman plans to vote for the Dem candidate in Nov to preserve abortion rights

[Demovictory9]

PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — DeAnn Hupe Seib is a fiscally conservative, churchgoing Republican from rural Kansas. When faced with a ballot question about whether abortion rights ought to be removed from her state’s constitution, she voted no. So did her home, Jefferson County, which favored Donald J. Trump by a 32-point margin in 2020.

“I was old enough that I remember stories of women who could not get abortions or had to defy their church in order to get in and get an abortion in order to save their lives,” said Ms. Hupe Seib, 63, a lawyer. “So it’s a very real issue to me, and I know it can be again.”

Ms. Hupe Seib, the Republican voter in rural Jefferson County who came out against the abortion amendment, also plans to vote for Governor Kelly.

Though she still votes Republican in local races, Ms. Hupe Seib did not support Mr. Trump and she said she feared her fellow Republicans in state office would keep trying to restrict access even after the vote on Tuesday. She planned to support Ms. Kelly in November to guard against that.

“Unless we vote out some of these right-wingers on abortion,” Ms. Hupe Seib said, “they are going to be back next year and the year after that, continually trying to restrict abortion.”

1. Good but the disconnect on continuing to vote for local republican

candidates is also a problem. Those small time local republican assholes grow up to be enabled statewide republican assholes that she's currently trying to guard against !

2. Yeah..she needs to vote in pro choice repubs or become a Dem

4. Hopefully the messaging can be adjusted with that in mind, in time for the midterms.

3. Maybe the message some Republicans need to hear is that they don't have to become a Democrat

to vote for Democrats at this moment in time. If they can't bring themselves to do that, they could sit out this election or at least leave the races with the most offensive candidates blank. Any of those options would be helpful.

5. Explain

'fiscal conservative'. They claim the mantel, but have no clue what it means.

6. "they are going to be back next year, and the year after that, and..."

Yup!

Took the the Reich-wing Christo-Fascists 50-years to shit the bed over Roe; so what’s another 50?

So after all these years, why does she vote for people who don’t give a damn about her?
