    Yikes. Not good for the abortion legislation carrot that dems have been dangling in front of voters.

      This is really not a good look for you. I don’t know if you intended it, but it reads like this:

      “Yikes. Not a good look that women are exercising autonomy over their own bodies.”

        that’s an interesting interpretation. enjoy the democrat circle jerk. it’s actually saying that power to the states isn’t as bad as people thought it would be.

      To the contrary: people have shifted to having to travel long distances or get pills through the mail without local medical support.

      In some states (eg: Idaho) these are substantially inaccessible.

        fair, but it’s not the catastrophe that dems want you to believe so you vote for them.

      You seem to be under the misunderstanding that dems want to increase abortions. They want increased access to abortion, but that’s not the same thing.

      This really hurts Republicans more than Dems. Let’s say you have a goal of reducing “x”, so you pass a law banning it, but that causes a noticeable increase in the behavior. Your law made things objectively worse towards accomplishing your goal.

      If you think the increased occurrence is justified as long as people are punished for it, then you don’t actually care about reducing abortion, you just want to punish people for it.

        Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Dems want you to believe that power to the states will eliminate access to abortions, when it seems this data shows that regardless of the overruling, abortions are still accessible. People aren’t getting fired up because access is being limited. People are getting fired up because they think access is being eliminated for people in certain states.

        It hurts Republicans because they didn’t get exactly what they want, but I think it hurts Democrats more because it minimizes one of their greatest scare tactics.
