Y'all, this is why you need to vote, including your local races. All an ideology like this needs to grow is fertile ground, a propaganda apparatus to spread it, and a willing legislature.

Vote like your lives depend on it, vote like your families' and friends' lives depend on it, because it very well might.

If everyone voted for Hillary, abortion rights and IVF would still be safe. Despite common belief, The President isn't King. Bernie couldn't have done anything more than Hillary without a Democrat majority in Congress.

So yes voting does work. The problem was the majority didn't care enough about Roe V Wade until their rights were taken away by those who voted for Trump.

Hillary would have nominated better judges than trump. It makes a difference who you vote for.
