The national abortion industry funded by wealthy out-of-state special interests spent millions to pass this radical language that goes far past abortion on demand.

I knew that politicians, especially those from the GOP, are delusional, but claiming that this was the reason for a 75% win of "Issue 1" is a pure and utter lie.

Haha, that's so funny. 80% of funding on both sides of the fight came from out of state. I will say that the pro-choice camp also spent far less on their campaigns than the anti-women campaigns.

And you're surprised? They'll do anything they think they can get away with, and they've figured out they can lie all the time about everything and get no pushback at all from the kind of people who vote Republican.

national abortion industry

What the fuck are they on? They act like there's a massively funded lobbying group like the oil industry or pharma has. This is a bunch of doctors doing $50 D&Cs and prescribing morning after pills at the free clinic.

It wasn't a 75% win though, the election results are still "unofficial" but issue 1 only got 56.62% of the votes. It's a good thing the issue 1 in august failed to pass.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
