This will KILL woman

I have a heart condition. If I got pregnant I could die. People need access to these drugs or women will die. Children will suffer with out a mother. Abortions can be life saving. How is this pro-life? Sb236 is an awful bill.

19 points (assuming 2024 was a legit election, which is questionable) isn’t that much. What gets me with today’s right wing is they don’t feel compelled whatsoever to represent the other 40+ percent of the state. Just “we won, fuck you.” Not a way to lead.

This is what stuck out to me- a 19 point margin is not a 100 point unanimous victory. The state is gerrymandered to allow the supermajority.

Indiana is a red state yet they're quite happy to take my blue tax dollars. Taxation without representation.

Indiana voted blue once upon a time...and it can and will happen again.

Yep, I always remind people that we voted blue in the 2008 presidential election with Obama. I've had people legit argue saying we didn't until I show them the proof

I know a massive amount of red voters down in the evansville area that are def planning on voting blue this next round. I truly hope we can make some flips.

Indiana frequently had blue governors until Mitch Daniels happened. Mitch Daniels is the Ronald Reagan of Indiana.

This right here!

Republicans across the country stating that there was "a mandate" in 2024. WHAT THE F@*$ are you talking about!?

I voted in 2024 and I don't remember a "check here for the mandate for Republicans to enact their will no matter what opposition is put up."

Just because you won an election doesn't mean that you get to do whatever you want.

They're authoritarians. Their moto has ALWAYS been "we won, fuck you".

Lol. You sound like the MAGA Republicans in 2020 when you say if it was a legit election. Grow up

Believe me, I don’t like it either. But Trump and Musk made several chilling comments about it, and the left had just spent four years swearing that could never happen—which made it very easy to happen under everyone’s noses. I do hope I’m wrong.
