An actual quote I saw today posted on Twitter: “Florida is a conservative Christian state, and they voted against murdering unborn babies. The democratic process is complete. They can leave if they want to do that.” There’s a lot to unpack there. I also got into an argument with the guy who posted it, who claimed somehow that it’s not ok for Federal government to regulate Women, but if states wants to do it then it’s ok, and they should just leave to another state then. like… wow. America is a strange place
They voted for abortion rights at the state level, then voted in a Senator, two Representatives, and Trump into office so they can pass a national abortion ban that will apply to their state.
In some other states yes, but the abortion protection in Florida failed to pass, leaving their “6-week” (2 weeks from detectability) ban in place.
(Edit: on my phone, didn’t see you were replying such that your “they” refers to the 57% of those who voted, which was insufficient to pass the amendment.)
My point is that more than half voted for abortion rights and more than half voted for the anti abortion candidates.
It’s probably because when they see ‘R’ next to a candidate’s name, they can’t help but choose that.
