Big wins for abortion in four states’ post-Roe referenda

In California, Michigan, and Vermont, voters enshrined the right to choose in their state’s constitutions — while voters in the reliably red state of Kentucky rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution saying there was neither a right to abortion nor a requirement for the state to fund the procedure.

With 90% of the expected vote tallied in the Bluegrass State, 52.3% of voters had opted to reject the proposed constitutional amendment — including some who voted to re-elect Republican Sen. Rand Paul.At an elementary school in Simpsonville, outside of Louisville, 71-year-old registered Republican Jim Stewart told the Associated Press he voted for Paul, but voted no on the amendment, even though he’s opposed to abortion.

Protesters were seen encouraging voters to vote yes on Amendment 2, which would add a permanent abortion ban to Kentucky’s state constitution.In Michigan, 56.7% of voters supported a ballot measure enshrining a constitutional right to reproductive freedom, including in “all matters relating to pregnancy.” The vote also strikes down a 1931 ban on abortion that had been blocked in court but could have been revived.

Women were seen cheering as they heard early voting results indicating the passage of Proposal 3, a midterm ballot measure that preserves abortion rights in Detroit.Separately, a proposed Montana law that would have required health care workers to make every effort to save the life of an infant “born during an attempted abortion” appeared headed for defeat Wednesday. With 82% of the expected vote in, 52.4% of voters had rejected the proposal, while 47.6% had supported it.

It's a post morality world. A majority of Americans are fanatically dedicated to the protection of puppies and kittens, driving battery powered cars and eating vegan while showing indifference to or resolute support for the killing and maiming of children.

Big wins for killing babies no matter what political party you back is horrible.Abortions are horrible.

Either way ugly or came out of a UFO

Look at em!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
