majority of residents in red states are unaware that their state passed new abortion restrictions

[Demovictory9]

Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Texas and Wyoming have passed new abortion restrictions recently. The Washington Post-ABC poll finds 4 in 10 residents in these states are aware that recent abortion restrictions were passed in their state, but a majority said they were unaware of new restrictions.

4. ALL Red States With Red Leadership

AZ is the only one listed that could be considered Purple.

The other states are getting the Governance they voted for.

6. It's not a right people think about, until they exercise it

There are all kinds of legal protections afforded us that we may never, or rarely, call on.

If it's not something slamming the news headlines 24/7, you can't blame people for not being aware of current laws and restrictions.

8. And that is the way GQP likes it . ..

9. TN passed law making abortion illegal the minute Roe is overturned!

Btw, the majority of people in red states are mostly unaware of anything not force fed to them by Faux.

10. Voter Registration Versus Eligible Voters

compound that with off-year elections with low turnout. I wouldn't be surprised if on average only 30% of a state's eligible voters actually vote in elections (and far less in primaries).

That's why negative politics is so effective. You reduce participation rates to the point that a small motivated plurality gets to make all of the decisions.

11. +1

no truer words

15. You could have just stopped after the word "unaware" n/t
