9. We worked our butts off already once

to defeat banning abortion in this state. But the R's just don't listen to their constituents anymore. We won overwhelmingly. Repub women crossed over and voted with Democrats. And STILL the legislature opines it knows best.

My blood pressure rose just reading this, and remembering all the hard we did the first time around after Dobbs. But damn, this is damned red state, and they won't turn loose of these repub state congresspeople. There's always a reason to vote in someone like Kline, Brownback, etc. One thing I blame it on is too many damned churches. I can't go a block without driving past a church in this town... and sometimes two of them! They've even got a holy roller church planned for a house sized vacant lot a few blocks past my house.

These churches aren't teaching the gospel anymore. They're all politics all the time... and they should have their damned tax breaks taken away immediately!

Meanwhile, it looks like I'm going to have to do more hard work to get this damned bill defeated... that is, if they even put it to the voters (which I'm thinking they won't).
