Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws


Recommended Posts

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio — Leesa Howard thinks abortion should be rare and not used for “birth control.” She’ll readily vote next year for Donald Trump, backing the man who remade the Supreme Court to end Roe v. Wade.

But Howard, 53, also knows a woman who got pregnant in high school and said an abortion kept her life on track. She plans to vote “yes” this week on an Ohio ballot measure that would enshrine access to the procedure in the state constitution.

“I don’t think the government should be able to tell us what we should do with our own bodies,” Howard said on a break one recent evening from her shift at Target. “We give that right away, might as well give all our rights away.”

People like Howard could soon deliver an abortion rights victory in a Republican-leaning state, underscoring how a new era of abortion bans have stoked a backlash from voters — even in places that helped elect Trump and pave the way for an end to nationwide access. The results of Ohio’s Issue 1 vote, which ends Tuesday, will test support for abortion in a state where GOP leaders passed a ban after about six weeks of pregnancy. It will also offer a new data point on the politics of abortion ahead of the 2024 elections.

We wouldn't even have DOBBS if it wasn't for a billionaire funded PAC suing the Mississippi 15-week limit.

 

looking back at it, that was a horrible move by a shady PAC.

Last night showed the left does not want limits on abortion.

 

It needs to be on demand with no limits.

 

 

 

That is an odd take.  Are you stupid? 

It's a rhetorical question. 

No need to answer.

I stated facts and you went ad hominem.

 

Is ignorance bliss?

 

Cause DOBBS was fought to the supreme court, by a DEM PAC.  At a 15 week limit.

 

 

SCOTUS conservatives got their majority and immediately did what they were sent there to do. Any case would do …They took a simple case on a 15 week limit and completely overturned Roe. Trying to pin it on Dems just shows how stupid and shallow your thinking is. Your an idiot.

It is on the Dems.  They don't bring Dobbs, Roe still stands.  It's not rocket surgery (for some).
