Summary

Abortion rights measures succeeded in seven states, though Florida’s proposal fell short of its 60% threshold. But with Donald Trump set for a second term and Republicans likely to control Congress, his administration will likely restrict access nationwide.

Trump may also restrict access via federal agencies, targeting abortion drugs, contraception, and enforcing the Comstock Act against mailing abortion-related materials.

His judicial appointments could further limit reproductive rights.

Women should prepare for these restrictions by considering sterilization, long-acting birth control, and purchasing emergency contraception and abortion pills in advance.

    I share none of the responsibility. Liberals thinking that their party is going to do something different this time, despite their history showing that they won’t do anything different shows lack of responsibility.

      Imagine if evangelicals sat home in the late 70s and 80s because the GOP wasn’t regressive enough for them yet.

      You’ve literally ceded all your political power and are too stupid to see it.

        I exercised my political power and refused to vote for the party of Dick Cheney, war, lies, and genocide

          You were too lazy to leave the house on a Tuesday evening and are just dressing that up in a way that doesn’t make you a shamefully stupid idiot

            What you are trying to say is ‘fuck you for not voting for MY interests.’ I dont support war, genocide, and fascism. Maybe that’s something you are comfortable with but enough people were not that she lost, and deservingly so

              What you are trying to say is 'fuck you for not voting for MY interests

              My interests in this scenario is not having mass deportation, and keeping my gay friends from having their marriages dissolved thus kicking them off their partners healthcare

              I dont support war, genocide, and fascism.

              Through your inaction — you do, and have.

              All you’ve done is virtual signal, while allowing those you claim to care about to be in a worse position than before.

              If you can explain to me how giving the federal government over to the GOP will help any Palestinian in Gaza or the West Bank, I will go away forever. If you can’t though, then that proves you don’t give a shit about the reality of genocide, only that other people perceive you as being staunchly anti-genocide.

                If we lose our ability to marry it will be because of the respect for marriage act that turned out marriages over to the states.

                Liberals ignoring genocide along with Biden for the last year and convincing themselves trump would be worse than burning people alive is the group that don’t care.
