| | The vast majority of women made it very clear they wanted to keep abortion legal.
And the Republican patriarchal society said to them:" fuck you", we are going to make it illegal, and they did.
And now it is pay back time, as not only is Trump going to lose this race, probably because of this one issue, but many Republicans down ballot are going to lose their races as well because most dems are pro choice, honoring women's wishes!
As everyone knows pro choice ballot measures almost always win.
There are 10 states this time, and watch how many win and how many Republicans lose because of them!
Because this issue draws out the women in droves, as we are seeing by exit polls: Democrat, Republican and Independents alike.
And this one issue may keep the senate in Democratic hands!

Voters in 10 states, including the battleground states of Arizona and Nevada, will be weighing proposed abortion amendments on their ballots this year, deciding whether or not to protect the right to an abortion in their state constitutions.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling in 2022 overturned Roe v. Wade and exacerbated the country’s hodgepodge of abortion laws. But in the years since, voters in multiple states have broadly approved ballot measures to expand and secure abortion rights while striking down proposals to restrict abortion access. Political candidates have also found abortion rights to be a winning topic with constituents.
This year, with 10 states set to vote on abortion ballot measures and a slew of high-stakes races, Democrats are hoping that the popularity of abortion rights will translate into wins for the policy — and their party. Meanwhile, Republicans in several states have tried hard to strike down the proposals before voters can get to the polls.
Here’s where voters will decide on abortion rights on Election Day.
ArizonaA citizen-initiated ballot measure in Arizona would protect the right to abortion and prevent the state from restricting access to the procedure until around 24 weeks, or when a fetus can survive outside the womb. The proposal is likely to pass; a New York Times/Siena College poll from September found that 58% of likely voters said theysupport the amendment. The measure’s passage would undo a current state ban on abortions after 15 weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
ColoradoIn Colorado, one of a handful of states that does not restrict abortion for adults, voters will vote on a measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution. The measure would also lift a ban on using public funds for abortion services, potentially allowing Medicaid or government employee health insurance plans to pay for the procedure.
MontanaVoters in Montana will decide on whether to affirm a 1999 state Supreme Court ruling that protected the right to abortion up until fetal viability. State courts have blocked several anti-abortion bills in the past, citing the 1999 ruling, and abortion rights advocates are hoping to enshrine that right in the state constitution.
NevadaAbortion in Nevada is already legal until six months, but voters in the battleground state will vote on whether to enshrine that standard in the state constitution. If passed, Nevadans will have to approve the ballot question again in 2026 to formally amend the constitution.
FloridaIn spite of a raft of challenges from Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state Republican officials, Florida Amendment 4 is set to appear on the ballot in the Sunshine State. Residents will vote on whether to protect abortion access up until fetal viability, or around 24 weeks. If passed, the amendment effectively undoes the state’s six-week ban. DeSantis has warned that the passage of Amendment 4 would represent “the end of the pro-life movement.”
NebraskaNebraska is the only state with competing abortion amendment proposals on the ballot this year. One measure would protect abortion until fetal viability, or “when needed to protect the life or health of the pregnant patient.” The other would essentially codify the state’s current ban in its constitution, barring the procedure after the first trimester with exceptions for medical emergencies, rape or incest.
If voters approve both measures, whichever of the two gets more votes will be the one that makes it into the state constitution, according to The Associated Press.
MarylandMaryland, like Colorado, does not impose any restrictions on abortion throughout the duration of a pregnancy. With an abortion rights measure on the ballot this year, voters will decide whether to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom in their state constitution.
MissouriAn amendment to allow the state of Missouri to regulate abortion only after fetal viability, “except to protect the life or health of the woman,” will be on the ballot. The measure’s passage would effectively repeal the state’s near-total ban on abortion.
New YorkNew Yorkers will vote on a measure to expand the state’s Equal Rights Amendment to add protected classes to include “pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes,and reproductive healthcare and autonomy,” effectively preserving the right to anabortion in the state.
