I voted in Virginia yesterday, Blue all the way. Abortion rights have always been one of the most important issues for me. I had one in the 80s and while I was sad to not have a baby, it was also the right thing to do and I wouldn’t change my decision if I had to do it over again.

Thanks. I voted today here in Texas. We have 14 constitutional amendments to decide on but none are about abortion. I'm sure the population here would vote to strike down the abortion ban we have here but we aren't given the chance.

This StoryMap has links on voting details for Ohio, Virginia and Alabama. https://arcg.is/1OaGv91

It also details on the number of women arrested for abortions in each state based on info from Pregnancy Justice. https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org and the poverty level by county.

Republicans target low income women with voter suppression and criminalize abortions. Voting is the answer.
