Will some women seek to punish Trump (for appointing the anti-abortion Supreme Court) by voting against him even if Harris can't bring abortion back?

He held out longer than I thought he would. He must be going soft in his dotage.

She needs to win, then win the house, then have a 50-50 Senate, then she could gut the filibuster and pass the things she needs to pass.

If she doesn't get all three, then the GOP will block all day.

America needs to vote blue down the lie …very little faith that’ll happen

Think these ones aren't going to indicate much, strong states for both sides. Midday I think is when we need to sit up and take notice.

No, these ones are very much Red states. So it would have to be the biggest upset ever for Harris to get any traction there.

First time round was still bad, but this time they have had 8 long years to see who and what he is. No excuses. Today we find out who America is and if they can be redeemed by slamming the door shut on this guy once and for all.

I hope this means he thinks he's gonna lose Pennsylvania

Not a bad cartoon to show to those out there who think we’re too far away for a US election to have any impact on us.

Post in here on Election Day as the current thread seems to be heading towards closure somewhat through the day

Thanks for this. Forget the Melbourne Cup advertising bs.

THIS is the race that will stop the nation.

That's a disgrace.
Federally nothing will change, it's up to the states. That's why I dont think it's an 'issue' if that makes sense

But why should it be up to the states? Because you think it should be? Because Trump says it should be, which is mostly because he wants to sit on the fence for political reasons. For around five decades it wasn’t a state issue. It was judged to be a right of all women in the country. That was changed by an unelected and unrepresentative Supreme Court that has lost its way.

Especially where many of the states’ legislatures are distorted by gerrymandering and voting restrictions.

And some of the states have tried to interfere in national abortion access by suing to stop the abortion drug - used for most early abortions - being distributed by mail. That would affect women all over the country. So far their efforts have failed but they’ll keep on trying.

It’s also relevant that the young Texas woman who recently died didn’t die because she couldn’t get an abortion. She didn’t want or need an abortion. She needed medical treatment while having a miscarriage.

There are two slightly different issues at play. One is the right of a woman (and her family) to have autonomy over reproduction. The other is the right to essential healthcare for issues arising from reproductive complications. In their effort to suppress the former, some states have trampled all over the latter.

Think we can kiss any chance of it being peaceful if he loses. He’s going to egg all his violent supporters on

I miss Antony Green

But what about Antony Red, Antony Orange, Antony Yellow, Antony Blue, Antony Indigo and Antony Violet.

Yep. The world's most professional and unbiased psephologist (ok I admit I googled that just now).

 

[Mister Carlton]

Is Kamala able to reverse Roe v Wade? What can she do.
The fact women are dying because they cannot access an abortion procedure is disgraceful.

Stats?

A pregnant teenager died after trying to get care in three visits to Texas emergency rooms

It took 20 hours and three ER visits before doctors admitted the pregnant 18-year-old to the hospital as her condition worsened. She’s one of at least two women who died under Texas’ abortion ban.

High Gen Z turnout at the University polling booths in Philadelphia. I've seen videos of the long queues. Several reports saying much bigger than previous and extra machines have been requested to process votes.
