This is a good write up, thanks for sharing! Everyone must vote in every election. It is more important than ever. Glad to see some continued momentum for the non-insane. 2022 mid-terms were a huge victory for the left and this just provides more momentum!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“We’re going to bed knowing that we own our own bodies,” Dr Marcel Azevedo, co-founder of Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights, told a group of supporters after the measure passed.
Two separate Democratic bids for governor in southern states that former President Donald Trump won by large margins in 2020 help illustrate the importance of abortion access in US electoral politics.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat, made abortion access a central issue of his campaign and cruised to re-election against Republican rival Daniel Cameron.
Gov Youngkin is considered another rising star in Republican politics, winning the Virginia governorship in 2021 without enlisting the help of former President Donald Trump.
Democrats’ big win arrives as President Joe Biden appeared to struggle with a sputtering campaign a year from his re-election hopes.
Campaign officials certainly saw it as an opportunity to dismiss criticism over recent polls that showed President Biden lagging behind Mr Trump.
