    Which Democratic candidate did you vote for to lose them?

    Why do you assume that isn’t also a right I’ve lost?

      Democrats are frankly quite complicit in the fall of Roe. They never bothered to codify Roe into law, because many of their own members found the topic awkward and icky, so they never bothered to do it. And they made the cold political calculation that keeping abortion as a continual political issue that they could run on was more important than actually protecting the right to abortion.

        Fair enough. Which democratic candidate did you vote for to lose reproductive healthcare rights? Because if the answer is “nobody” then that’s a disingenuous comparison. ‘Republicans took away our rights, so you have to vote for a Democratic candidate that wants to take away yours’ doesn’t even make sense.
