Arizona Senate Repeals 1864 Abortion Banwww.huffpost.com The governor is expected to sign the repeal immediately — a huge win for pro-choice advocates in the state — but the near-total ban will still be in effect for some time.

How do you not look yourself in the mirror when you're trying to revive a 160 year-old law that nobody has taken seriously in ages? My patience for evangelicals is at a complete end. I genuinely despise them from the bottom of my heart.

Because all they want is to control women and anyone else who can get pregnant. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for all those meddling kids.

Mmmhmm

What's up with all the tags?

Numbers must've been horrific.

I haven't totalled all the data but Abortion bans are by all appearances the least-popular policies in modern history. It also shows Republicans are clearly resistant to restrictive policies they know will clearly and umabiguously impact them personally.

💪💪💪

And the religious right is fuuuuuming with them. Best case scenario is a few of them sit out, because I don't see Dems carrying AZ otherwise.

"I don't see Dems carrying AZ otherwise." On what basis do you say this? Dems won all the state-wide races in the most recent cycles.

It's the media drumbeat. Gallego is slightly *ahead* He would have to eff up *badly* to lose to Lake.

Too late. Can't get that shit back up the goose.

I see the same people that cheered during it's two failed repeals celebrated too soon.
