I have no doubt a majority of people in, very likely, every state, support reproductive rights. The fervent pro-life movement is ultimately a niche issue that is being forced upon the majority of Americans by people who wrongly believe America is a Christian nation that must follow the word of God over anything else.
The biggest issue is even if that is the case, many of those same people will vote Republican. It is very unlikely, especially after what we saw in Kansas, that states controlled by Republicans will allow a ballot initiative to go forward.
Our esteemed GOP controlled legislature in South Carolina is currently debating whether to move forward on a bill that not only totally bans abortion, but also makes it illegal to travel to another state for care (unconstitutional) along with attempting to block websites that offer information on how to get an abortion out of state (also unconstitutional).
I'd like to think this extremism will be repudiated by voters come November, at the very least electing Joe Cunningham and sending Henry McMaster into a much needed retirement, but I am not optimistic on that front.
I hope you are right and everything will be ok in the end.
You seem to be as much of a RINO as I used to be when I sported a blue avatar. Why not join the light green side and become an Independent?
I have sported the blue-SC avatar since the dawn of my time here on Atlas forum in 2004 (yes, I am getting old). I haven't really been a Republican for close to a decade now and everyone who knows me here knows it.
But even I have a sentimental streak for my R-SC avatar, you know?
