Abortion 2024 VIctory? I Have Hope

[NowISeetheLight]

I was reading an article in Politico this evening about Flori-duh and their planned abortion ballot measure. It was basically an article about how DeSatans hand-picked conservative Supreme Court screwed him. The article featured a nice map showing the 12 states where Abortion could be on the ballot in 2024.

Looking at the map gives me some real hope for 2024. I expect Biden to win anyway because Trump is demented and deranged. However this map gives me a lot of hope for down ballot victories in some states that are often Red or Red leaning.

On Ballot in 2024 - Florida, Maryland, New York

Pending for the 2024 ballot - Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri, Arkansas, Maine

Approved in a past election - California, Kansas, Ohio, Michigan

Some of these states like Arizona, Colorado and Nevada are very purple and could go either way. Abortion is a definite issue that could turn them nicely Blue. I can see the House turning Blue and picking up a couple extra senate seats if all goes well.

2. Just wait -- they are coming after your birth control pills . . .

The same people who worked for 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade have now turned their guns on contraception.

This is a LONG comment.

The Republican war on women did not end when Roe v. Wade was overturned. Now they are coming for your birth control pills – and, no, this is not a joke.

For most of our history, contraception was whispered about. In most states, it was illegal to manufacture, sell, use, or teach about contraceptive devices. Under the Connecticut Comstock Act of 1873 it was illegal to use "any drug, medicinal article, or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception".

In 1961 Estelle Griswold and Dr. Lee Buxton opened a clinic in New Haven to teach about contraception and provide contraceptives. Griswold was arrested, found guilty, and appealed. Her case went to the Supreme Court who ruled in Griswold v. Connecticut, 1965, that “marital privacy” is a protected right and contraception is a protected private matter -- just as Roe v. Wade was based largely on privacy rights.

In his concurrence with overturning Roe, Justice Thomas wrote:

“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, . . . Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous’ we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents.”

According to Thomas, it is “erroneous” for people to have the right to contraception and Griswold was a mistake.


In an attempt to protect access to contraception, in July 2022 the House of Representatives passed the “Right to Contraception Act”. HOWEVER, 195 REPUBLICANS VOTED “NAY”.

The same groups who worked for 50 years to overturn Roe are quietly working to overturn Griswold because they claim contraception is a “form of abortion” – they lie, it is not.

Don’t be fooled: Republicans are coming after your birth control pills.
