Amazing that anti-abortion politicians don’t think they could win a state-wide referendum *in Mississippi*
“It took 50 years … to overturn Roe v. Wade. We weren’t going to let it just be thrown out the window by folks coming in from out of state ... and running an initiative through.” —Mississippi House Speaker Jason White on banning citizens from voting on abortion via ballot initiatives
Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights.
"It's always those out-of-state folk. It's us good moral upstanding folk that know what is best for our women folk."
I guess just about any election without gerrymandering is a toss up.
I'm old enough to remember when overturning Roe v Wade was great because it returned the question to the democratic process.
They did turn down, a few years back, the referendum on the definition of human life as beginning at conception.
Holy hell, Chris. 2024 is the bananaest of years.
This political ad writes itself.
The woke Mississippi state government will let just about anybody vote!
The irony is that the more power is concentrated the more we tend to look at abortion as a favorable option.
Turns out having human rights is quite popular!
they are basically calling Mississippi voters ‘outside agitators’
