Is a winning message.

Responses:

Interesting thread on how the 'No' messaging labeled the proposed amendment as a "government mandate." -- (link*) - decline Aug 3, 07:54
I wish that vote was with the general election instead of the primary. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 07:42 1
- The GOP purposefully scheduled it during the primary in hopes of low turnout that would skew GOP/anti-abortion -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 07:44
I think a lot of state races will be won because of this issue. Women will show up, imo. - Inigo Aug 3, 07:21 11
- This will definitely be a factor in the PA governor race. If Mastriano wins I'd say it's 80% that abortion will be banned in PA. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 07:47 1
  - Yeah, it’s pretty clear cut here, not that there aren’t plenty of other reasons not to vote for him. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 3, 07:57
- I’d be very interested in seeing the downballot effects of this before assuming that this kind of support translates into support for particular candidates -- nm* - znufrii Aug 3, 07:24 5
  - If the Dems can craft the message correctly, every state race can be portrayed as a fight for abortion rights. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 07:47 3
    - "You *can* win *if* you show up. So show the f up." -- nm - Max Aug 3, 11:27
    - But will voters respond to a single-issue-framed candidacy as vigorously as a single-issue ballot measure? I mean, I hope so… -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 3, 07:54 1
      - This is HUGE. Reproductive rights are the same as equal rights. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 3, 07:57
  - It's going to depend on how the "protect abortion" landscape looks in each state. Ballot measures may not - TWuG Aug 3, 07:28
- if this is the result in *kansas,* imagine less red states. -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 07:22 2
  - Kansas red is very much a blend of Southern Christian conservative and Western libertarians. - Barons Barons Barons Aug 3, 07:45
