    How does it ever change? The 70+% of people that disagree show up to vote. I was raised by forced birthers and have been to family therapy with them to try to talk with a neutral third party. The therapist gave us all a blanket statement that we’ll never change each other’s minds. So, fine. My brother and I just have to cancel out their votes and get more people to tip the scales.

    Every state that’s been able to vote on it has upheld protections for abortion. More are on the ballot for November. Check your state and be ready to show up.

      I don’t know. But I’m going to keep trying.

      I’m definitely going to vote, and everyone willing to listen should hear why, like you said.

      But I’m also going to keep talking and listening to the people I disagree with, and nuts to your therapist.
