"What happens in the midterms wont be about Republicans or Democrats, but whether people cast a vote
for the continuation of suffering, or attempt to end the anguish that banning abortion has caused."
"Those are just the adults. This summer, Republicans insisted the story of a raped and pregnant 10-year-old in Ohio was a hoax, and later tried to paint the girls experience as a tragic anomaly. In fact dozens of girls in Ohio 14 years old and under had abortions in 2021. In neighboring Kentucky, more than a dozen children aged 14 or younger had abortions last year; two 9-year-olds needed abortions in the past few years. These are victimized children who will now be forced to carry pregnancies, perilous for their small bodies, or leave their home state for care.
In other words: real people, across the country, are enduring real suffering. All of which was predictable and preventable."
"As Americans head into midterm elections, they need to consider not what Republicans say about abortion but what they do, and what their laws have already done.
Voters should remember that none of this is accidental. All of this is misery, and hurt is by design. This alone should motivate voters to protect abortion rights."

(70,522 posts)In college in S.E. OH I knew of one young lady (she was 18) got pregnant from her black boyfriend
and if she hadn't had an abortion she could have never gone home (Gallipolis, Ohio) or seen her
family again. Southern OH is just like West Virginia, Ky, and Tennessee in the racism that is just part
of the culture however women in those areas have sex and or get pregnant from a family "friend" or
a relative.
I might be wrong but I see a blue wave coming.

(57,073 posts)And I believe qpukes & corporate media do as well, hence the polling lies. They are simply projecting defeat to suppress Democratic turn out. Not going to happen!
Ever read "How to Lie With Statistics?"
I'm holding the vision. Join me!

(5,942 posts)I'd crawl through blood to vote, and I'd donate a shit ton more than my usual amount, and I'd spread my donations further afield.

(7,113 posts)One election story that's getting next to no attention is how Democrats have been raking in significantly greater numbers of small donations nationwide. The right can of course is pouring in billions in dark money, but it's still very hard to manufacture enthusiasm. I don't get the sense that their base is excited to vote. Chump's not on the ballot, and their loyalty and passion goes to him, not the GQP Party in general.
