My 2nd and last comment about this election. In 2017, lots of women in Kansas were working every day to protect the Affordable Care Act. (Some were wealthy—I went to their fancy houses for meetings. 🤣) They organized rallies, protests, town halls...

One of them was Laura Robeson, an awesome person and the mother of a son with many medical needs. She worked so hard and gave eloquent public speeches. tinyurl.com/2kpbuzx9
The ad hoc group made scrapbooks of what the Affordable Care Act meant to their families and brought them to the Republican senator's office. When he held town halls in small towns, they traveled there to speak up about ACA. tinyurl.com/4apnyx7a
They were mostly polite, and relentless.
And when the Congress was all set to vote for an awful "health care" bill to replace ACA, the senator from Kansas was one of two Republicans who broke ranks. ACA remained the law. tinyurl.com/yef987wm

Having just signed up for ACA this month, I'm grateful. But my point is: don't denigrate red states. Lots of people in red states work very hard for change.
And if you're in a red state, don't underestimate your ability to have a voice. ✨

PS: Health care should unite all Americans. There are some services we all need—like highways, for example. Health care for our families is one of them. Being afraid to call 911 because it's expensive isn't pro-life. Being bankrupted by hospital bills isn't freedom.
