How Arkansas compares to other states on key health measures.
Births: Arkansas ranks 11th highest for births, 2nd highest for teen births and 6th highest for preterm births
Mortality: Arkansas ranks 3rd worst for infant mortality and 4th worst for maternal mortality.
Health coverage: A higher percentage of women in Arkansas are uninsured than the U.S. average...."
Certainly, blocking abortions has had an impact on these statistics, an impact is sure to increase as hospitals close their birthing centers and OB/GYNs leave the state.
But, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the rest of her "pro-life" hypocrites don't care
Ta, Robyn. Yet another state in which I'll never set foot again. My so-called reproductive years are long over, but it's the principle of the thing. Arkansas will never receive another penny from me apart from my federal tax dollars, because of *course* they're one of the "taker" states. The only other exception I'll make is if there's a crafter selling on Etsy whose work I love. People often can't help where they live.
No, I'm sure the people have been lining up to say, "Sir, thank you so much for getting rid of Roe v. Wade and sending abortion back to the states," with tears in their eyes. The liberal media doesn't show that part of his standing room only rallies.
Unreconstructed states doing what unreconstructed states do best. Going to have to really get the good people of Arkansas a lot of help. Because the unreconstructed Republican party sees the writing on the wall and they hope to use their culture war bullshit to help keep their hold on power solid in such places.
I'm sick of Republicans balancing the budget on the backs of the poor. If it doesn't affect Congress and the Prez, who cares? Tax Social Security, tax unemployment benefits, tax the people at the bottom who can't take thousands of deductions. Like I say, stealing from the poor is lots easier than stealing from the rich.
This kind of "legal suppression" is what the Right has in store for all of us if we give them any more power. We need to take back the country and undo all the Trump-McConnell judicial corruption down to the state level.
Republicans hate it when individual people have an individual vote. If they could have an electoral college for the state they would. Allowing regular folks: non-white, non-rich, to vote would be dangerous. Chaos would ensue!

Smokey Face can lecture everyone about how no borshuns is good on her 345 million dollar lectern from her multimillion dollar seats at next year's Super Bowl or her next trash gurl trip to Paris.
She actually said that expanding post-partum care will not get more women to the doctor. She said that! Weird. God how I hate her sleepy condescending drawl.
Montana? I heard about Nebraska's but wasn't aware of two initiatives in Montana. There are 2 voting initiatives, but they aren't exactly dueling, either.

I suppose it's too late to gather additional signatures via volunteers now, huh. If not, it's time to mobilize such volunteers like crazy.
In any case, I hope they can at least use this bullshit in the current campaign against any Rs up for election.
Everyone is happy this issue is now left up to the states. Just ask Donald Trump.
Everyone, that is, except certain of the states.
The republican controlled government of the states. Not the actual people living in the state (heaven forfend!).

Yay Judge Baker.
can they just do a new petition?
To late for this cycle.
At least it will have the effect of making people ANGRIER and more resolved the NEXT time

This is all about removing the abortion vote from the presidential cycle. They know this one is coming back.

Nope, they don't want voting at all, unless it's on Dancing With The Stars or some other trifle.
"Give it back to the states!" they said. "Let the people decide!" they said. "We're fucking liars!" they meant.
"States rights" are only valid when an unreconstructed locale wishes to do illegal discrimination.

Oh, I just hate her and her fucking dad. Both of them are going to Hell though.
Not soon enough, though.
But, Jeebus.
Yes we do.
Well that sucks. I saw this weekend that Montana has dueling abortion rights initiatives on the ballot.
Montana? I heard about Nebraska's but wasn't aware of two initiatives in Montana. There are 2 voting initiatives, but they aren't exactly dueling, either.
I think it was Montana. I getting old though
Dueling abortions. Glad I'm not a girl.
(was that sexist?)
It's the "girl" part.
