I won't donate a dime to any politician that doesn't say some version of the following:

"Abortion should be safe, legal and easy"

I'm working on a sentence to put on everything I write, including email. I'm considering, "Republican believe women are things to use and abuse." If you have something better to offer I'd like to see it. Thank You.

I think I woould go more on the positive, such as "every woman desERves the trust, care and dignity you would give your MOM" . GOP laws make womdn suffer needlessly

Slight modification..?

“Republicans treat women as less than (human can be added ) and as objects to use and abuse”

My two cents…thanks.

So happy to read this, made my day that the Republican propaganda machine and money did not work in Kansas.

We all definitely needed this win! Way to go Kansas to get out the vote in August! I think you make such a necessary point that abortion is not a culture war issue, and we should never have let Republicans get away with making it one. There is a path forward.

My profound thanks to every single "Vote No" campaigner and advocate in Kansa - they're lighting the way for others in states where legal abortion is banned or at risk. And for those of us in legal abortion states who can help in many ways.
