Abortion has been on the ballot in seven states since June 2022. In each instance, anti-abortion groups have lost.

    I wish this was true but sadly it is not. Anti-choice candidates have continued to be elected and pass laws since June 2022.

      I assume they’re only referring to when abortion was voted on by itself, not when it was a package deal with a politician (since pretty much all Republicans are gonna be anti-choice).

      Because these sheep vote for a letter next to their name. But an issue on a ballot may be backed by them but it doesn’t have a letter itself, so people actually turn into individuals a bit more

      Just happened in Ohio. If there were a candidate called “R-issue 1” he would have won with 53% of the vote. But since it was just “Issue 1” and it affected people, they struck it down 43-57 for-against
