Rural Ohio is a goddamn nightmare. I live in a dense suburb (almost urban) and all the signs in my neighborhood say “vote yes,” but if I drive out one county away, all the “vote no” and accompanying misinformation starts rolling out.
Misinformation like:
“Abortion kills babies” (it does not).
“Abortion harms children” (it does not).
“Abortion infringes on parents’ rights” (it does not).
“Abortion is dangerous” (only if it’s done in secrecy, because you’ve made it a crime).
On that note, there was an article a while back saying they needed a new name because “pro life” wasn’t resonating with people anymore. It’s not the fucking name that’s the problem, you evil bastards, it’s more and more people realizing that they have no stake in what other people decide to do with their pregnancies and that it’s nice to have that option because you can’t predict your circumstances.

Everything about the anti-abortion movement is a lie, starting with the name they use for themselves.

Yeah by the time you see the “hell is real” signs you’ve seen enough of rural Ohio to know it’s true
The right to life group in my toen has ads saying “Stop Taxpayers funded abortion” which is just a flat out lie.
