I hope voters were given the options yes, no, and da fuck? (a perfect case study of what the GOP has become)

August 2022

“We are celebrating a victory for reproductive rights in the US a month after the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, as voters in Kansas overwhelmingly decided to keep abortion protections in its state constitution. The defeat of a referendum to remove said rights from the constitution, 59% to 41%, was especially encouraging given that anti-abortion activists used every shady tactic they could think of and still lost. The wording of the referendum was intentionally confusing. I can’t believe they hired the same guy who wrote the iTunes user agreement. I hope voters were given the options yes, no, and da fuck?” —Seth Meyers

“Moreover, Kansas voters saw through the bullshit and overwhelmingly backed abortion rights, despite misleading text messages from a GOP group. The night before the election, the group sent voters a text that said: ‘Women in KS are losing their choice on reproductive rights. Voting YES on the Amendment will give women a choice. Vote YES to protect women’s health.’ But voting yes would do the opposite. You know, as a general rule, if your best strategy is to try to trick people into accidentally voting for you, that’s probably a sign that you’re the bad guys. It’s like, if in order to get people to watch this show online, we made the title of every YouTube video ‘click here for free boner pills!’ Last night was both a promising sign of progress in the fight to safeguard abortion rights on the one hand, and a perfect case study of what the GOP has become on the other hand.” —Seth Meyers
