but - from what I've heard while there is a vocal minority of women who are happy about roe being overturned, the vast vast majority of women are not happy about it. For a lot of women born after Roe, for example, it was a given that they had the right to get an abortion, and people took it away from them. I was worried about a woman being nominated - but honestly it might be the perfect time to nominate a woman.
On one side you have a bunch of old white men literally taking away women's rights. On the other side you have an actual strong woman who wants to codify those rights into law.
Every election with abortion rights on the ballot has gone to democrats since the roe repeal if I'm not mistaken
I actually did not know that. I think them finishing off Roe was one of the worst things from a strategy standpoint the GOP could have done. They could have done nothing and had people voting for them for that for years. By doing something all they did was lose one of their best campaign talking points and piss off a lot of people who wanted Roe. I hope it continues to backfire on them.
