I think the polls may be undersampling young women. Crazy talk I know, women are never underestimated...

Oh, horsefeathers, this election is an outlier. Women totally forgive you when you take away their rights and kick them in the teeth. It’s their nature to forgive and forget! You married men out there—you know what I’m talking about!

This is one of those things that a lot of women may not say a whole lot about in advance, but when it comes time to vote, this loss of a key right (bodily autonomy, without which you can't really be a full or equal citizen) will almost certainly weigh heavily on them. I think the Dems will do well in November, and the news from Alabama is absolutely fantastic.

"...at least in low-turnout contests"

And high-turnout contests. The vote in KS a couple of years ago was in an August primary, more people voted than in any primary in the state's history.

This is not a surprise. IVF is an expensive process. The IVF ruling is going to affect white women disproportionately because unfortunately black women in Alabama are more than likely to not be able to afford to do IVF.

Weird how the liberal media and polls keep showing the Dems as under-preforming. It’s almost like they want a horse race and a Republican win.

Golly, are you ladies still ON about that? It's like you have some kind of recurring alarm on your cell phone or something that reminds you to be mad about losing your right to make your own health care decisions all over again.
