Voting in every single election is essential, but this one is particularly crucial if you feel in everyone’s ideal to decide on. If you are not about to convey to a girl or any one with a uterus to have a kid against their will, vote Democrat up and down the ticket to protect against draconian abortion bans. At the federal stage, Republicans are ready to pursue a national abortion ban. (And immediately after that, they are coming for contraception.) At the regional level, Republicans in point out legislatures are pushing point out abortion bans that could just take outcome as quickly as subsequent yr. In Pennsylvania, for occasion, the Republican-managed state legislature has by now voted the moment in favor of an abortion ban. If the ideal wing stays in electric power there, there will be a further legislative vote in favor of the ban in 2023. The second consecutive vote will then ship the ban to the people today for their vote. Let’s not allow it get that far, Pennsylvania!

If you have previously bought into outdated-fashioned and cynical notions of your vote “not counting,” my activist buddy Robin Alperstein stated in a Fb article previous night time that each and every vote actually matters, even if you’re in a “blue” or “red” state. (Fundamentally, very little is at any time as monolithic as it appears.) I put Robin’s post into this Google doc so you can read it way too. If you have extra time to spare — or just miss looking at/listening to me — you can revisit the lYouTube online video I did for the 2018 midterm elections.
