[@carmenbyrne6521]

Fascinating. Incomprehensible to me, that any party can change voting rights, on the fly, right before a presidential election. Come to think of it, why isn't your justice system impartial, and unbiased, instead of it being based on the two party system where, ie: trump was able to appoint a majority of Republican judges, who apparently, hold the position FOR LIFE!!! Inexplicable! How does that promote fair, and impartial, results? Surely it should reflect the actual legal system, which cannot be ensured with your current mix of Supreme Court judges, if they vote along party lines. Just an outsider's view. . . .and query.

[@CraftyGrandmaDem]

If Trump gets back in in 2024 he already told his rich donors he'd give them another tax cut. This one will be bigger and last longer and we would never be able to save Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid. Trump is also selling our planet to Big Oil for every 1B$ donation. He will reverse all the climate change programs that Biden put in place. Trump can not get back in office. America would be another failed business with him in charge. Vote Biden/Blue all the way down and until every maga/election denier is out of office.

It's a significant problem for Republicans because many people in Arizona and elsewhere WILL vote to enshrine reproductive rights into their state constitutions, and then vote against Republicans on the ballot. A percentage of these people wouldn't even bother to vote if the reproductive rights issue wasn't on the ballot.

What the GOP will get will be Welfare States, and many will become a Top Moocher State like Florida is already. The poor will be forced to birth children, while richer people can travel out-of-state for abortions, who will add stress to supplemental services. Each additional birth above stasis adds $12K in a year in educational costs each and every year of schooling and preschool. If just 10K additional births are forced each year, that will add about $1.5 BILLION in additional taxes Florida taxpayers have to pay over 18 years, until they graduate 12th grade. And that's only for 10K births EVERY YEAR for education, not supplemental services. If there are 50K births in a year, those taxes are multiplied accordingly. There will be an explosion of taxes in Red States that will drive them into bankruptcy in a decade. EACH AND EVERY YEAR, THESE TAXES WILL COMPOUND AS A NEW GRADUATING CLASS OF ADDITIONAL BIRTHS IS ADDED TO THE ROLE. Just wait until Florida residents have to pay that $9K early years and $12K primary years education costs per kid. $160K just for basic education per child over 18 years. That's not daycare, food, heat, lodging, medical expenses are applied. Since this targets the poorer of the state, most will be dependent on supplemental services. Multiply that individual child expenses across tens of thousands in a given birth year, and then compound that each and every year. Ten thousand kids born in one year will amount to nearly $2 Billion by the time they are emancipated. Enjoy your state bankruptcies Red States! Of course, you'll try to mooch off of other states, like you always do.

[@CarolEdmonds-pk7hr]

thesparkster,that’s one important reason why Red States are NEVER going to get rid of the Electoral College. It guarantees that states like California and New York will FOREVER be financially on the hook for the taxes they pay for the upkeep of Red States’ economies.

This is not a subject that triggers me. Women voting their rights away is on the women themself. I can't understand a single woman voting for any Republican - even it you are prolive like me - you don't support this abuse of our legal system

[@MsWarriordiva]

Totally agree!!! If they don't vote blue, they're either ignorant or have been brainwashed.

Once they take one right away, they continue on to other right. They are trying to move us to an Autocracy/Theocracy. Project 25

Think about what you are saying. A woman, married with a kid or two, that would like to go on vacation with her family once a summer and save up for the kids' college tuition but cannot because taxes and higher electric rates and gasoline prices are eating up all the spare money in the family's budget. So this woman votes for Democrats because she'd like to end the life of her next kid if she gets pregnant.

Same thing they tried and failed to do in Ohio.

[@CM-nq2xn]

GOP are deplorable

[@leehouten2345]

Thank you Brian and Marc for keeping us informed. But why is no one else talking about this? Most voters will have no idea their voting rights are being eroded to such an extent

[@nancyschiller7043]

Marc thank you so much for your hard understanding work you do for all of us, voters❤

[@nancyschiller7043]

Unending work, auto correct sucks sometimes

[@JosephWasielewski-du1mj]

Vote in November make your voices heard loud and proud 👏

[@lindadirickson2874]

Women of America need to pass extremely rigger bills making the father's of these babies pay thru the nose to support the babies. If the father can't then his mommy and daddy have to or JAIL.!!!!!!!

[@pamciekanowski2472]

What? Why should the Mom go to jail???

[@khrfx4715]

If both these initiatives will be on the ballot at the same time the voters will not be fooled. Ohio tried something similar and it went down in flames. Arizona should be OK.

[@ShionWinkler]

They tried this after we passed the right to be sick, and failed.

Trump and the GOP are like Kudzu: A creeping vine that suffocates and kills everything in its path.
