Democrats pick up support of two Republicans to repeal law reinstated three weeks ago, with governor expected to ratify repeal
Arizona lawmakers have repealed the state’s 160-year-old statute banning nearly all abortions.
The 1864 law, which was reinstated by the state supreme court three weeks ago, has made abortion a central focus in the battleground state and galvanized Democrats seeking to enshrine abortion rights.
In the state senate, Democrats picked up the support of two Republicans in favor of repealing the ban. The Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs, is expected to ratify the repeal, which narrowly cleared the Arizona house last week after three Republicans joined with all the Democrats in the chamber.
I don’t like spoiling the joke with an explanation. “Both sides” people are real, but it is extremely obvious in this case that the sides aren’t the same.
I assume the downvotes are from people who knew it was a joke but didn’t find it funny. I’m fine with that.
I used to think that obvious things were obvious, but then “alternate facts” happened and I realized that obvious doesn’t seem to matter anymore.
IMHO when objective truths became “fake news” and “alternative facts” became the truth for so so many people, our slide into facist movements became a free fall.
