The one thing that gives me pause when saying Americans overwhelmingly support abortion rights is it's usually in 'all or MOST' cases, or similar phrasing indicating 'generally pro-choice, but it's not absolute'. That bothers me because the devil is in the details and Republicans know it and they're exploiting it. I can exhale when a majority of Americans support abortion rights with NO limits, gestational age or otherwise (maybe by the time Gen Z are middle aged?)
Hypothetical that isn't going to happen, but, what if Tr*mp came out and said he wanted to codify Roe? The only time I ever remember his followers disagreeing with him was when he suggested they get vaccinated. So he'd open up debate in the Republican party and suddenly look like the sane one, the politically savvy one. It's crazy of course, but he's also the -only- Republican I could ever see doing that. (To be clear he'd still have to be stopped because he's so dangerous for so many other reasons, and nothing would come of it just like any other promise he makes, but, I do wonder how deep anti-choice really runs among Republican -voters-.
Idk it just annoys me to no end that people who vote Republican are divided on abortion (they have to be or the numbers don't add up) while Democrats are united, and yet we haven't found a way to take advantage of that, and the worst among them are the ones making the laws.
Medical waste!? Reminds me of the novel The Red Tent, recommended reading. Next someone will decide that women will have to bag up menstrual fluids as medical waste. When we were young we had so much hope that the world was getting better. Sigh.
I reached out to the reporter of the Mississippi story and asked if there was a way to donate to the family. She said they gave permission to share their Cash App account: $SimpleButterfly87
