My understanding - and I could be wrong, and correct me if I am - is that some states are going to do a full-on ban on abortions (even in the case that the woman didn't consent) since it's no longer protected at the federal level. That is full on bat**** crazy to me.
Some conservatives argue that originally Roe v. Wade was decided incorrectly or wasn't decided in a manner congruent with the constitution or some **** - but no one really cares about the constitution if we're being honest. They only refer to the constitution when it helps their case politically.
I support drug legalization for the same reason that I support abortion - I don't believe the government has the right to infringe on our bodily autonomy.
To Exo's point - I think this will at the very least result in more motivated D voters in the midterms.
EDIT: Thankfully, I live in a state where abortion isn't going to be banned any time soon. ****in sucks for people who are not as lucky.
