      All the other sentient castrated-pig-scrotums were already thinking the same thing.

        Just wanted to make sure it was abundantly clear that that wasn’t my opinion!

        Sadly, you’re right. They don’t want demographics to vote that would threaten their ability to hold onto power.

    Rick Scott probably thinks a female orgasm is a gimmick of some sort, because he’s never given one to anyone.

      I consider myself a man of science. I don’t believe in everything that random people make up online. People say they see ghosts. People say they see Bigfoot. People say they see ladies cum but until I witness it firsthand, it’s all just myth and legend.

      Rick Scott, Douchbag.

    What’s the problem with trying to get more women to vote, Scott?

      More voters is always bad for Republicans.

    We need these amendments on every state ballots because the majority of voters want them. They passed the Kansas and will pass in Florida. Let the states decide that it should be legal everywhere

    Yes, it could absolutely be construed that way.

    And it would be 100% ok if it was.

      Its super weird how they keep coming out all the time with these alternative, “can you believe they’re gonna do this thing that every non-weird person is strangely on the same page about” or warning something obvious that isn’t bad to non-weirdos.

      They just can’t themselves fromi threatening us with a good time

    How dare women have an opinion on our laws that we created that reduce their body autonomy?

    If Republicans are that scared of turnout, they could legislatively overturn their own abortion ban.

    Gimmick in the sense that your party leader used his opportunity to stack the Supreme Court with “Justices” that overturned almost 5 decades of precedent based on “because we wanted to”. Maybe stop using the system to push wildly unpopular policies on the majority of Americans if you don’t want people to vote against them.
