First Kansas, now Kentucky. Turns out even the Trumpiest of states value their reproductive freedom.

The funniest/saddest thing about this is those states still voted for Republicans, meaning millions of Republicans voted for the same people that are trying to take away the freedom they voted to protect.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Indeed. There might be some voters who really, truly favor Republican policies on some other niche issue (like gun rights) more than they want to protect their own bodily autonomy, especially men, who aren't impacted as directly.

But the pro-choice trend illustrates this: Despite significant cultural conservatism, Americans value *freedom* most of all.

The GOP normally capitalizes on this in the heartland, where Republicans have a big edge on branding ("Faith & flag! Freedom! The American Dream! Rah rah!"), but that dynamic got inverted by the loss of Roe.

All six abortion-related ballot measures this November, plus the Kansas referendum earlier, went in the pro-choice direction.

This provides a clear path forward for Democrats in the post-Roe era, in pretty much every state no matter how red: Put abortion rights on the ballot, wherever and whenever you can - and frankly, other issues too. The Democratic position often wins again and again, even in red states, when you ask about specific issues.
