THREAD:
1/ Great to be back on @thereidout w/ @JoyAnnReid. ICYMI, key points on the extremity of near-total bans on abortion in OK & other states.:
60% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all/most cases.
Consistent data across 5 decades
Via @PRRIpoll
#reiders @MSNBC
2/ Very few Americans say abortion should be ILLEGAL in ALL cases:
15% all Americans
15% Oklahomans
There is no state in which more than 1 in 4 support a total ban on abortion.
Via @PRRIpoll 2018 American Values Atlas.
3/ Data doesn't support claims of a "Christian view" on abortion.
Only 2 major religious groups--white evangelical Protestants & Latino Protestants--have majority opposition to abortion.
Majorities of every other major religious group say abortion sb legal in all/most cases.

Not everyday, not every week...

"Every HOUR sees the black man elbowed out of employment by some newly arrived emigrant whose hunger and whose COLOR are thought to give him a better title to the place."

Early Voting
In-person absentee voting
Ballot Drop Boxes
Community Ballot Collections

Check out vote.org for more info.
Here are the states offering early or no-excuse in-person absentee voting.

I agree with @K_JeanPierre while I have tremendous respect for @SpeakerPelosi -I also feel that Trump is a VERY different President than Clinton was, with very different crimes, & with the overwhelming evidence, respectfully, it's time to #Impeach.

2-Last wk's CNN/SSRS poll shows that approval for Impeachment Inquiry is up-as of an entire wk ago- to 79% of Dems. It's higher now, as indicated by the # of Dem Congress who now support it. @SpeakerPelosi don't wait for Repubs, we won't get that til the hearings start.
