Worse than a meaningless gesture (the house won’t take it up), squanders the feeling of a rising tide from last week, and will piss off soooo many Ds ready to fight. What. The. Actual. Fuck.
There were a lot of factors that drove more white women to vote for Democrats in Virginia, but one of them was reproductive healthcare. 🧵
