On a press call yesterday, State Republican Chairman Bob Hugin said Sherrill’s persisent focus on abortion is a sign that she’s nervous about her re-election chances.

If you don’t do it, no one else will. Stop making excuses that you don’t have the time. Our Democracy doesn’t have the time! WE ARE OUT OF TIME! The final blow to our cherished values is at hand. Rajbhandari won. A teenager beat a Republican incumbent in a traditionally red city in one of the reddest states. Moore's point is that if these kinds of seismic shifts are happening at the polls in Boise, there's reason to think that this election won't follow traditional patterns. Voters, he believes, have had enough of the power of right-wing extremists and the threat they pose to democratic values.Did not a single one of these right-wing judges and politicians realize women were now allowed to vote? That it’s been that way since 1920? The Supreme Court, while they were at it in June, should’ve taken that right away from them, too. History will note that fatal mistake of theirs became their undoing. Sherrill is generally regarded as a significant favorite against DeGroot, a first-time candidate who won the Republican primary in an upset. Though the current lines of the 11th district are highly competitive, the new map that will go into effect for this election makes the district significantly more Democratic. But regardless of Sherrill’s chances, speakers at today’s Roevember rally were unanimous in urging residents of the 11th district and of New Jersey to come out in November and vote. After the fall of Roe, states including California and Michigan put reproductive rights on the ballot, introducing propositions to amend their state constitutions to expressly protect abortion. (Vermont already had a ballot measure in the works.) “I think [the measures] will be successful and that their success will motivate other states,” Elizabeth Nash, a state policy analyst at the Guttmacher Institute, told Vogue. “The vast majority of Americans support abortion rights. It’s a matter of connecting the dots on the policy side so that people take that to the polls.”

Now, a new poll shows that Roevember isn’t going to happen. Why not? Because Republican women are more likely to vote in the 2022 midterm elections than Democratic women or Independent women, according to a new Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Just start introducing yourself to your neighbors on your street (or in your apartment building) and ask them to help you get out the vote in #Roevember! Tell them it will be fun! Every weekend we’ll do something cool with each other to make Roevember a success! The (mostly) men who pass abortion bans do so with the political help of white women voters who (wrongly) believe that we and our daughters will always be able to access the uniquely righteous abortions to which we are entitled and others are not. So in a surprising turn of events, the Idaho Statesman, Boise's daily news paper, chose not to endorse Schmidt because he refused to denounce the Idaho Liberty Dogs. Instead, the paper endorsed his opponent , an 18-year-old high school senior and progressive activist, Shiva Rajbhandari, who was also co-founder of the Boise chapter of Extinction Rebellion.Still, Roevember is definitely alive and well, especially on Tumblr. Both the #Roevember and #Roevember FFXIV tags are very active there. Even more troubling for Mitch McConnell and the GOP senate leadership are the numbers out of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. In the Badger State, incumbent Ron Johnson, who has a 47 percent unfavorable rating, is trailing his opponent Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes by seven points. These numbers are particularly stark among independents, who favor Barnes by 14 points. Johnson recently came under fire for downplaying the threat of the loss of abortion rights in his state. “It might be a little messy for some people, but abortion is not going away,” he said, saying that driving across state lines to Illinois would likely be an option. “I just don’t think this is going to be the big political issue everybody thinks it is, because it’s not going to be that big a change.” He appears to be very wrong on this point. Whatever right-wing Christian legislators— mostly men —would have us believe, there is not a significant religious divide in the United States in terms of who actually has abortions. To the contrary: The vast majority of Americans who have abortions identify as Christians. Don’t take my word for it: The overwhelmingly Christian, and specifically evangelical and Catholic, anti-abortion movement admits as much . I’m not citing that statistic as a gotcha; it’s just the plain truth. I personally believe that people of any and every faith who seek to not be pregnant when they don’t want to be, or can’t be, shouldn’t be forced by the government to give birth or die trying—even if they believe that, writ large, other people should be forced by the government to stay pregnant against their will. I believe in the power of women voters, but I dread pinning the outcome of one election—a meaningful one with dire consequences, to be sure—on whether “women,” in general, can turn a dangerous and disheartening tide. While men get a pass for either supporting or ignoring abortion bans as if they live their lives unaffected by the formation and sustentation of families, women and pregnancy-capable people have long been uniquely tasked by pollsters and strategists, who haven’t given much credence at all to the lived experience of abortion, with somehow overturning the abortion bans that prevent us from deciding if, when, and how to create our families. But writ large, women are unlikely to save abortion access in one fell swoop, not because the majority of us are not angry about losing access to abortion—we are—but because the question of how to restore abortion access is deeply complicated, and because losing access to abortion is not now and may not be, in the coming months and years, enough to turn a key number of white women away from the other benefits of white supremacy that the GOP promises us. I’ve been counting on the vast majority with whom I share this land, the ones who believe in the human rights of women, who believe that the human species is in deep environmental danger, who believe the rich, by getting richer, have made life harder for everyone else — I believe we, together, are going to turn this all around. Beginning today. Right?
