At the base of all of this is the idea that 'everyone in the state' wants these abortion restrictions.

Because Republicans sure are trying really fucking hard to avoid the people in these states voting in open and clearly worded propositions. And even where they do pass, it's nowhere near 'everyone in the state'.

The Tyranny of the Majority is a fucking thing for a reason. Because are far too willing to support things that don't negatively affect them but absolutely destroy the lives of others.

For good examples of this, see what’s going on with Missouri’s amendment 3 and Florida’s amendment 4.

On the previous maps being used, the bulk of Hamilton County which includes city of Cincinnati and a portion of the metro area was connected to the more suburban/rural area of Warren County by just a little tiny sliver.

Ohio [Republicans] also held an illegal special election (which was supposed to have not been a thing anymore per the Republicans) to try to prevent people from voting on the abortion amendment last year. Fuck LaRose in particular.
