Rhode Island. We were the last state to have marriage equality. We have the strictest abortion laws (I think we may have a trigger law if Roe v. Wade is ever turned over but I'm not entirely sure.). We occasionally have regressive ultrasound laws come up. They're never voted on but they are entertained. We have voter ID. During the entire Carcieri administration our legislature pandered to the wealthy.
And I don't know of any New England Democrat (or Republican outside of maybe LePage or a Tea Party whackjob from NH) saying something like this:
"I think what is important for people in this debate to realize even if we live to be 100 years old, we are only on this side of eternity for a short time. It's the other side of eternity that we have to be concerned about and in this debate, we shouldn't lose sight that there is a cosmic battle between God and Satan. Whether we like it or not, we are part of it." Sen. Harold Metts D-Providence
