Maya Angelo said when someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. The GOP has shown us their plan, they have had a taste of it and they are not letting that bone go. Ever. We got a real fight on our hands. I just hope we haven't already lost.
I don’t live in Arizona but as I understand it, Supreme Court justices there come up for retention election, meaning yes keep them if they get a majority of the vote or no, they will be replaced by the governor if they don’t. Two of the five who voted for the 1864 law are on the ballot in November, Bolick and King. Those in Arizona should keep that in mind when they vote this year as this is a way to get rid of them.
An interesting side note: Jessica Valenti of the substack "Abortion Every day" was the one who outed the judge who recused himself, eventually MSM picked it up and shamed him into it, but prior to her exposing him, he said he would not recuse.
Marilyn Lands ran on women’s reproductive rights and won by a landslide here in Alabama. She has given me hope for this state and country when little else has recently.

Sometimes it is early fundamental indoctrination and abuse : see "Shiney Happy People" about how fundamentalists like the Duggars, literally beat the curiosity out of babies, it is called "Blanket training. Google it.
Often, it is greed, and trying to keep their undeserved privilege, lest someone else get equal rights. It is always racism in that case.
Same as people who vote for lowering taxes on the very wealthy—thus lowering the tax base that supports public schools, safety, transportation and health. Then they complain about the potholes, crime and price of drugs.
How could a law from 1864 be valid? For fifty years Roe was the law and anything else after that was no good. Besides the bastard that brought about this ridiculous bill was a serial child rapist that kidnapped his victims from their homes. Married them and then left them. But these are the people that made laws. Seriously, these people are insane. Making children child brides, then changing the laws to make them work like slaves, without breaks is worse than the laws in places like China. Or countries that have children labor. Since they can bring such laws from a long time ago, bring back slavery, take away rights to vote from women and blacks. Send the statute of liberty back to France, we don’t mean what she represents anymore. Bring back lynching and segregation with Jim Crow, secede from the union. Any state that wasn’t a state in 1864, you are not part of the union. Go back to being territorial places. You see how ridiculous that sounds? That how it sounds when you say it out loud.

Not too extreme.
They want to keep us from voting
Like cattle.

you speak truth, and deserve a huge megaphone so more will hear.
People are shocked this happened in AZ.
I am not sure why. They wee not hiding what they would do.
It's just an FYI. I'm talking about low info voters, some even conservative-leaning, who didn't think this would happen in AZ.

What is it with women that vote against their own self interest??
