"Arizona Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick retained his seat despite ruling in favor of the 1864 abortion law." *In favor of* doing a lot of work there.

Yeah, well, we'll see how those women who voted for Prop. 139 and Trump feel when his administration uses the Comstock Act to limit--perhaps even outright prohibit--the interstate transport of drugs that can be used in abortions. I wouldn't rule out Trump signing a national "Heartbeat Bill," either, although the current thin majorities in Congress make that option less likely. In short, attempts to restrict women's reproductive decisions are coming.

It is ironic and paradoxical that all the folks who want abortion on demand don't recognize that 53% of all fetuses are female. And it is likely the 1 million killed per year are progeny that would likely grow up to be progressives.

53 percent? Where did you find that number? A million abortions? More like 625,978 abortions from 46 states and Washington, DC. (2021) I doubt the four states that don't report abortion stats, California, Maryland, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, contributed over 300k abortions.

Guttmacher Institute. I guess 600K deaths is OK with you? The #1 cause of death in the US for children. Same on us.

I am in favor of abortion for liberals. If you find that to be funny, so be it.

That isn’t funny.

The reason 139 passed is because most people wanted it out of the public square. It has worn out its utility.

In order to take advantage of the broad support for 139, its campaign quite deliberately didn't make it partisan. I was one of the many volunteer circulators of the petition, and I happily signed local independents and Republicans. While I also wanted them to vote for Democrats, that couldn't be the pitch. We will see what the AZ and national Republicans do with their power now, though.

A single sourced 'article' from Arizona Agenda. Is DJ Quinlan the only analysis you are going to research for your work on what the voters want? Are you going to talk to any other consultants? Any additional reporting planned? Maybe talking to voters? Nah. That would involve not looking at your twitter feed.

Demanding a “retraction of his demand for a retraction”…gotta love it 😆

The only people in election denialism are MAGA/Republicans when they LOSE! Arizonans have been threatened, intimidated and terrified by violence, threats. You brought up hail to the chief, can you imagine a call like that coming to Hobbs from Biden? Who’s cancelling who?

Democracy is a white supremacists greatest fear. They will violently protest and threaten civil war if they don’t get there way.
