(1,461 posts)I think it's very easy for someone who'll never have to fear dying because of a pregnancy gone wrong to take your position. Reproductive rights are issues that effect all women regardless of political views. I guess that more white women will have to die from miscarriages because they can't get the medical help that they need to wake more white women up. I will also point out that state ballot measures to protect women's reproductive rights did win in states that voted for Trump as in Montana, Nevada and 2 years ago in Ohio just to name a few so your claim isn't so accurate. Reproductive rights is also an economic issue. Forcing middle and low income families to bring children into the world that they can't afford because birth control has been outlawed will be financially ruinous. Husbands having to raise already born children alone on 1 income because their wives died from a miscarriage because dead fetus's are now more valuable than 1/2 of our population will be another financially ruinous situation for middle and low income families.
In Arizona, Ruben Gallego ran hard on reproductive rights using Kari Lake's own extremist words on reproductive rights against her and won. Also in AZ., the state ballot initiative to protect reproductive rights also won big which means that there was a sizeable group of repugs in AZ. who voted to protect reproductive rights. There is a sizeable group of people in AZ. who voted to protect reproductive rights. voted for Ruben Gallego and then voted for Trump. This pretty much throws your theory of dems supporting women's rights costing them the election out the window. In addition, in North Carolina, voters voted for dems for Governor and Attorney general and defeated enough maga state legislators to get rid of the veto proof North Carolina state legislature. There are countless additional examples. This is further proof of how wrong your theory is.
