Huh, maybe if all those who are now letting everyone know "your rights are next," was saying that when SCOTUS first gutted voting rights—things may be different. They didn’t care which embolden the courts to take a sledgehammer to abortion instead of tinker. #BOSpoli #MApoli

Akayla Gardner @gardnerakayla

VP @KamalaHarris drew a link between states moving to outlaw abortion and those limiting voting rights during a discussion at @essencefest.

“At least 11 states are doing both at the same time,” she said. “No surprise there.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-02/harris-links-abortion-and-voting-rights-says-fight-must-go-on?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=220703&utm_campaign=author_22105141
