dmm | on: Trump wins presidency for second time
> think a zygote is equivalent to an infant

Missouri and Florida were won by Trump and both passed constitutional amendments to guarantee abortion access.

> think vaccines cause autism

I don't think this is a partisan issue. I've spoken to plenty of liberals who believe similar things. Basically the "crunchy mom" stereotype.

Thanks, I didn't realize that it needed 60%. It only got ~57%.

But it outperformed Trump in the vote totals, so the point stands.

The road is clear now for the right-wing to ban abortion federally.

He released a video the other day specifically to clarify that he wishes to leave it to the states to decide and that it's not a federal issue.

If republicans take the house and they already have the senate, and he has Scrotus, the first bill banning abortion federally from the House will pass the Senate and end up on his desk. I have no doubt that he will gleefully sign it.
