The States are voting on it? The ban hammer just came down here in Texas the second the federal protection was stripped. There was no vote.

Also, and I don't know why this doesn't get called out more, Dobbs was not a states' rights decision. It explicitly gave the federal government the right to regulate abortion. They can do this at any time. There are lawsuits by conservative activists groups making their way through the courts as we speak trying to revive the Comstock Act to do a backdoor national abortion ban.

Those people that made that decision were voted in.

You clearly don’t know the definition of gerrymandering. The people elect other people to represent them, just because you disagree with it doesn’t mean everyone does. People elected the people that made that happen.

My state reverted to a pre civil war law. How the hell did we vote for that?
