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

    Makes you wonder if the corporate elite class uses this issue (and other) just as a tool for control. Easy divide and move a population back and forth on hot push button topic. Meanwhile the top 1 percent… investment bank continue to hoard all wealth as we see it stripped away by inflation.

    I will vote for a glib, anti union, pro corporate generic candidate because he / she “strongly” supports (or not) abortion.

    Yes this is a cynical take and the abortion issue is important … just cannot shake the issue is in a continual cycle to keep people divided, distracted as they get poorer and work harder.

      That’s been a big chunk of the political landscape. The Republicans and the Catholics are not natural bedfellows and campaigning on Abortion has been how they pulled a ton of them to the right. If the Republicans lose the Catholic vote, they will not win for 50 years, especially since they have been counting on Hispanic anti-abortion votes to cover what they lost on the white college educated elite in the long term.
