And women of all ages. And a lot of supportive men. This will drive up the turnout.

I just hope we can vote out all (or most) GOPQ govenors, 36 races (20R, 16D) since governors may have more say over their state abortion laws, and Dems would certainly be pro choice.
And I hope to see more democrats in the Senate and Congress as well.

Women will wage war with our votes.

They probably won't have the opportunity to vote later, when they do decide to care. Or if they do get to vote, their vote may not count.

It's hair on fire time, people. 🔥 You may or may not get everything you want because we're facing a LOT of issues right now - student loans, prescription drug prices, healthcare, inflation, housing costs, etc.,etc., etc. But if we - meaning ALL OF US - lose autonomy over our own bodies, everything else will seem like small potatoes.

as usual. Everyone has a stake in this issue, and I think that it will drive out record numbers of voters. Toad really gets on my nerves.

have a life except to raise babies or seek backroom abortions by some butcher on the cheap. Either way it will have a negative effect on their lives.
