The fight over abortion in Ohio will test whether vulnerable Democrats can turn public support for abortion rights into campaign victories — even if the elections are a year apart.

    Women like me in places like Texas are looking to places like Kansas and hopefully Ohio as hope and inspiration. Good luck!

        Lots of them definitely are. I’m noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I’ve lived here.

        Yes. One of my closest friends - an engineer with a Masters degree - had a very nice job offer but she turned it down because of the basic lack of women’s reproductive health services.

        She’s smart and capable and has the degrees - one from the Air Force Academy - to say fuck no. I respect her a lot, and I’m ashamed to still be here tbh

      As an ohio woman, I hope we do you proud. We want a liberal state. But we can define every district as either pack or crack so we’re stuck with constitutional amendments
