   After the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision overruling Roe v Wade last year, each state was left to make and enforce its own abortion laws. Many red states had already put abortion “trigger” laws in place that would leap into effect the moment Roe was overturned, while many blue states rushed to pass additional protections to guarantee the right to abortion access.

   Then there was Wisconsin, where a law essentially banning all elective abortion procedures has Democrats in the state fired up and ready to fight back. They get a big chance to do so next Tuesday. http://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/reproductive-freedom-democracy-wisconsin-court

     @georgetakei Republicans pushed Michigan voters to taking actions against them. Hopefully the same will happen in Wisconsin.

     @georgetakei The best way to reduce* abortion is sex education, access to contraceptives, support of pregnant women, health care, and care for children whose mothers can't be there for them. Also general respect for women and real respect for families. Strangely the same people who want to ban abortion are not willing to provide any of these things. Because it's not about saving lifes, it's about controlling women.

     *And if you really need/want an abortion, it should be safe and legal.
