Good stuff.

I just have to remind people that Kari Lake would have been governor if 17k votes went differently. Voting matters.

And this repeal barely passed the legislature. It is only thanks to a few Republican defections that the law was repealed.

In the Senate, it passed 16-14 with all 14 Senate Democrats and 2 Republicans voting to repeal.

In the House, it passed 32-28 with all 29 Democrats voting with 3 Republicans to repeal.

Republicans voted overwhelmingly to keep the abortion ban in place.

Abortion rights are still likely to be on the ballot in November in Arizona. And given how Republicans are voting on abortion, it matters more than ever.
