Is that bullshit that the Arkansas AG is pulling going to be allowed to go through? For anyone who is not aware, Arkansas got enough signatures to have an abortion initiative on the ballot. The AG threw out the petition because some of the signature gatherers were paid. He allowed two other initiatives (one for weed and one for casinos) to be on the ballot that had the same issue.
Meanwhile, here in Indiana: "Fuck you. We don't care about democracy."
I'm just glad I'm on the Illinois border in case the worst happens.
Arkansas used a bit of ratfuckery to keep it off the ballot here, too.
They're probably gonna get away with it, too. And to think, we could've had a bona fide scientist as our governor instead of Donald Trump's personal liar.
Indiana doesn't have to. We don't get ballot measures here except in very special circumstances.
They all better vote out Republicans because if they win all of this will not matter. They will be implementing a nationwide ban.
That's unlikely in South Dakota and Montana.
They collected almost twice the necessary signatures needed for the bill in Montana. And abortion is already protected via the right to privacy in the state constitution. The R governor and state legislators keep trying to fight it though. Let's hope the "stay out of other people's business" people vote yes.
Montana could vote for John tester though
Hey I've been living in JD France's hometown for years now, rather conservative county, and it often seems hopeless. But Ohio voted overwhelmingly to keep abortion legal.
