"SNIP.......

The Economist: “Backlash is the prevailing force in midterm years. Members of the president’s party hunker down, and the opposition charges forward. Visit Michigan, however, and you will see the reverse. Democrats there are raging against a decision taken by the Supreme Court in June to overturn Roe v Wade, the ruling that declared abortion a constitutional right, which has left decisions on abortion to individual states. A dozen have already instituted near-total bans on the procedure.”

“In this final stretch before the midterm elections on November 8th, Republicans should be preparing to seize power amid deep discontent with President Joe Biden. Michigan, which went for Donald Trump in 2016, should be the least of their worries. Instead they are fretting that they could lose all three of the major statewide elections, as well as control of at least one state legislative chamber and some competitive congressional seats.”

who cannot afford it. Whether it be getting rid of Medicare or obamacare, or giving tax breaks to the rich the right can't get enough of a transfer of wealth away from people who don't have much. Going across states to get adequate healthcare will break the bank for young people working McJobs.
