Abortion rights boosted with defeat of Kentucky amendment

14. KY Expat here in Texas. I am also tired of the KY bashing

I will always love Kentucky - I spent my formative years there after all, in a very small town (pop 200) surrounded by farms

Looking out over a field of winter wheat when it sprouts in March, enjoying the aroma of the Dark Fired Tobacco barns in Sept-Oct, attending small town festivals, enjoying the gentle beauty of the farmland areas- these are some of my favorite memories.

KY was solid blue until 1965; it took a while for the Red Menace to creep in. We do still tend to elect Democratic Governors, and the KY State Assembly held the last Democratic majority in the South.

Gov Beshear is up for re-election in 2023, and I plan to write postcards and phone bank for him.

Corgigal, are you in Morehead, Berea or another college town in the mountains? I am from Western Ky just south of Bowling Green, almost in Tennessee.

(I do NOT miss the horrid allergy storm I had every year from mid August until late October - it was epic)
