Republican extremism is not popular

This really is becoming a midterm election about who controls child bearing -- women and families or the state. And more and more us don't think it should be up to Republican lawmakers and courts. 

Kevin Drum presented this chart summarizing Wall Street Journal polling:

A radical Supreme Court has rubbed the American majority the wrong way.

Some internal findings from the polling:

  • 62% opposed an abortion ban at 6 weeks of pregnancy that only included an exception for the health of the mother
  • 57% opposed a ban at 15 weeks with an exception only for the health of the mother
  • 77% opposed banning women who live in states where abortion is illegal from traveling to other states to get an abortion.
  • 81% were against banning all abortions.

Here in Nevada, the Republican seeking to replace U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto has run as a hardline anti-abortion activist. 

We're working night and day to be sure this fanatic extremist doesn't win in November.
