MT had a born alive issue on the ballot that seems to be going no which is good.
jridley
Michigan just passed this as well. It includes protection for a lot of reproductive health and automatically invalidates contrary laws.
ColonelHoraceGentleman
This is damn near NewHampshire levels of DON'T FUCK WITH ME. Then again the Vermont state motto is "Freedom & Unity", so that fits well too.
TheCrochetedSunflower
The day after I was in a diner and I overheard. “Well they voted to murder babies”. I wanted to throw up and throw fists.
Pyrannha
It's been part of Colorado constitution since just after roe v wade was overturned
phoenix071
It is not the first state, lots have already done this. But go vermont!
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Michigan did too today! Prop 3 passed :D
Javertitus
I'm sorry what?! According to the KS Supreme Court it already has been here.

This is how they make the blue states break from the fed. When the fed is red again, and it will be, this will be the Mason-Dixon.
newsguycraigevans
Good.
morninggloryshade777
Don't think it's the first but good on ya.
idownvoteyouall
Weirdly enough kansas already had, reds even tried a ballot initiative to get rid of it and failed
georgedragonslayer
Don't come to Missouri. Pretty sure by January we "wouldn''t ain't gonna allow non of them baby killins." And that could be an actual quote.
jewbacca001
So did Michigan even with the massive amounts of misinformation all over the state we barely passed with 57%
ickyickywoopwoo
Um, Nevada enshrined abortion rights into it's constitution years ago... So did Oklahoma... A bunch of states actually
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
It's been in the KS constitution since like 2019. It was affirmed in the primaries this year.
BlueSorceress
Pretty sure proposal 3 in Michigan passed too. Same sort of deal.
midrealmknight
Passed by a substantial margin
fimbl
Afraid it wont matter now that Repubs hold Congress now, advancing a national ban.
FreeNorth
Thank you, neighbour! Well done!
DaLwkiz
Hold on..... Does actually mean that Vermont is actually allowing abortions? Or does this mean they aren't?
RatBits
They are allowing abortion as a right. VT is very liberal.
DaLwkiz
Oh thank god....For a second there I thought you guys were implying that they weren't.
LetsGoWVU
For anyone wanting to know, tubal ligation is covered 100% by insurance under the Affordable Care Act. It’s considered birth control 1/2
LetsGoWVU
I know, because they just cleared mine on Monday!! Now it’s just time to schedule (I’m approaching 36 so docs don’t argue much at this age)

.....so anyone know what the housing market in Vermont is like? I prefer having rights.
brantstamps
My house has appreciated 125K in the last 4 years and the the real estate inventory is almost non existent. But it is a great place to live
MrsSlavicHorse
Sadly as expensive as you’d expect northeast to be, but I suppose you get what you pay for

Crazy in the “cities” and a ton of people moved up from real cities during the pandemic. If you want to live in the middle of nowhere you

Might be ok. Also good luck finding work. Don’t get me wrong I love VT but it’s definitely not an easy state to live in in some ways.
zerovanity59
Vwont doesn't have any cities. They have towns that call themselves cities.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
If we ever have to move back to the US, Vermont looks really nice to me.

Thanks for the honesty at least, I'm from GA so have a list of states to move to one day, they are easier to knock off the list than add.

As a 36 year old Vermonter, housing market is garbage. I work in home renovations and 90% of our work is out of staters second or third...

GuyleDoucheFieldReporter
CA is on its way to approve that as well. Of course I’m in one of the few red counties in the state that voted no. TF is wrong w/ people?
Richarmeleon
KY tried to amend theirs to say "no abortion rights". We no voters for this one are just barely over half.
beepbeepmf
Which county is that? Cause I think I’m in a red county too…
orangearcadi
Prop 1 is currently underwater in 10 counties, all down near Bakersfield or up near Lassen
VerboseDood61
Republicans are idiots who largely are uneducated. End of list.
EndorForestSummerCamp83
Most CA counties are red, actually. It’s just fortunate that the 7 or so that aren’t also have the most people in them.
mithiwithi
I want election result maps with by-county tallies to start also including the counties' population size.
mithiwithi
These maps full of red-voting empty space are starting to chafe.
thomrun5772
Placer county? That is where I am at. All the mega church crowd of course voted no.
orangearcadi
Just checked, prop 1 is currently passing 53-47 in Placer county
thomrun5772
Yep...looked that up last night. For all the bible bangers we have that was interesting.
gallopinggoldfish
I never paid attention to the politics there until I came home from college & saw all the signs for that old prop banning gay marriage :(
orangearcadi
Prop 8 actually passed in California :/
gallopinggoldfish
Insane
thomrun5772
Prop 8. I lived in a suburb of Sacramento at the time nicknamed "little Moscow" The Russian population there were very homophobic and fully
thomrun5772
supported the banning of gay marriage because it offended their religious beliefs.
Etherealvalentine
My sister had a yes on 8 poster hung on the ceiling above her bed, in high school. I was a member of gsa. No h8 vote no on 8
vanishinggirl
I’m hoping my state, MN, will do this too, now that Democrats have control of both chambers!!
betwitched
Also Michigan and Pennsylvania!!
mikewhiskeyfarmer1
Let’s do this!
UserNamesArentEasy
Probably will Tim has said he will make an effort to keep rights even before the re-election
Puppies717
Small world. I know Tim!
morninggloryshade777
I thought MN already had? No? But yeah yest was good for DEMs there:)

It's sad we have to have the majority of seats to advance human rights again

SimianSeminar
That is bloody amazing isn't it?? Well done ✊️
Dontforgettofloss
Hell YEAH! Sad that Jen Schultz lost to Pete Stauber though. My poor district...
TheAnimalLady
Yes BUT let's not let off pressure. Quite a few Dems want to "work with the GOP" and we need to let them know we voted them in for a reason.
HitsuneYamagoto
Ooh, really? I voted but I don't know how to check stuff like that.

The Secretary of State website for your state publishes election results as they come in

You don't know how to google "election results 2022 mn" ???

ctotheg2
Well-put, good observation. That they are a minority and soon to be completely powerless or extinct even.
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
We just have to get nonvoting more left than not people to actually turn up and vote

Monstrosity?
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
That would work too. What other M words fit?

You'd have to change the 'the' to 'a', but; moronity could be a word especially for describing them.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Marginalized?
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
They aren’t marginalised. They are a minority. If a candidate stands for X and the people don’t vote for them, that’s not marginalised
ThatShiftyMonkey
Margarinized?
mrpotatodick
I have FB friends who are mad prop 3 passed in MI, claiming it gives children access to start gender reassignment w/o parental consent --smh
AchDuLieber
Dump facebook.
EleganceIsDead
With the exception of Abortion in some States, you can't legally do ANY kind Medical Procedure without informed parental consent. Otherwise>
EleganceIsDead
>it's instant Malpractice. Unless it's an ER situation, a Doctor can't even really examine a child, without parental consent.
TanithRosenbaum
what the hell? Did they make that up themselves or are they parotting some fox news pundit?
ColonelHoraceGentleman
Sadly, that is the ACTUAL propaganda that's been going around about Prop 3 here. Its all a VERY deliberate misreading of the proposal's 1/2
ColonelHoraceGentleman
2/2 - wording. If you are ignorant of legal language and the precedence of existing law, the argument sounds real. It is, in fact, total BS.
BaddyOneShoe
And, three of the five churches in my very small MI town had "vote no on 3" signs all over their buildings. How is spending parishioner $
BaddyOneShoe
on political causes even legal? Not to mention the tax exempt status BS.
SpartaWolf117
fuck every No voter
stickmanprime
taurondir
You mean "middle aged, religious, white guys"
Badprenup
Actually this is one place I would stick just with religious. Plenty of religious women actively voting against their own interests here
bobbycottle
Add conservative. Plenty of religious people accept abortion rights.
FloridaMansNeighbor
I'm assuming you're getting down voted because people are misreading your comment
Purrmageddon
Meh, it's more about the idiots in 2022 that keep voting Republican despite the last few years.
VerboseDood61
Voting should be compulsory IMO. Want your tax return? Better vote!
HandoB4Javert
'phrasing'
thealmightywalrus420
They shoulda been aborted
Gatotsu77
Wish I could vote :/ I'm stuck with what everyone else chooses
itsallaboutthecones
I mean, that's a pretty decent spread. I have determined that about 20% of people are going to be shit for any given thing. If its over that
heethin
Friend, you ain't kidding. 10% of the VT voters voted to not improve the wording limiting slavery to align with the US Constitution.
itsallaboutthecones
20% then definitely fuck those other people. They should have known better. The first 20 though? Are probably pretty far gone.

I mean not literally. There, uhh, might, uhh, be some unintended consequences.
SithShodan
Well these people only recognize problems when it immediately concerns them, so..
CaptainAsshat
These people are absolutely aware of the problem - that's the point of voting no, as it mainly affects poor people.
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
Possible unintended pregnancies among the No votes could covert them to Yes voters?
ActionJohnnie
Yeah, no.
CaptainAsshat
Hahaha no, they'd get an abortion and still vote no. This isn't about lack of experience, it's about controlling poor people.
MexicanWarMachine
If only it worked that way. The word “hypocrite” exists for a reason.
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
Sadly, I'm aware and read enough stories how their abortion was in fact, justified.
MoralRectifier
Actually, CA did, too. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-08/2022-california-election-proposition-1-abortion-rights-results
orangearcadi
Yeah but VT polls closed earlier so obviously they did it first /s
MelfsAcidArrow
In my county of CA, it did not pass. How gross is that?

Thank you. Beat me to it as I voted for it.
feryooday
Hell yeah to both!!!
MrGrundy
Michigan too ^_^
rdmage11
Thank you, I was getting ready to be really disappointed in my state, because I remembered voting for this.
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
It's been in the KS constitution since like 2019. It was affirmed in the primaries this year.
tomojeimie
Yeah but Eastern time so Vermont technically did it first right?
archery126
Michigan did it too and we're in Eastern time, though if the margin in Vermont was that large I guess they could've called the result first.
tomojeimie
I always forget about you lot hanging out there on the edge!
xbiu
holy fuck 35% against though
HotSauceOnMyButthole
Yea.. the state’s 92% white. I went to a fair this fall and there was a half dozen qanon/gop stands that had all but the swatzitkas

CA isn't even close to 92% white. Whites aren't even the majority population there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California#Demographics

Oops, thought I was responding to reply about Vermont
Fuckweasel
Heh, no worries.

It won big. As most here in the Bear Republic knew it would. Sadly I live in the Texas of northern California and everything went red.

I think there was a third as well, not sure why Vermont is getting singled out. Unless *technically* their votes were counted an hour or 2

before the others, in which case it's *technically* true but still a pretty silly claim if that's the case.

2 and 4 hours before. The Internet does like things that are technically true though.

I fact checked myself, the 3 were CA, VT, & Michigan. Pleasantly surprised, yay Michigan!
srsfaceI8C
Michigan pulled hard blue to the point I'm not even sure it's considered a swing state any more.
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
Makes up for Florida, which used to be a swing state but seems hopelessly red now
zerovanity59
Well Michigan was the only blueish state that still had a pre-Roe ban on the books. They had greater urgency.
weirdcalculator
I was about to answer but you were too quick for me! Very pleased all the spending on 'no' propaganda had little effect.

Michigan went through a complete upheaval this round! Very interesting. I need more info about the background of the Ds won so much ground
