Kentucky and Montana rejected abortion bans. California, Michigan, and Vermont enshrined abortion rights in their state constitutions. If abortion rights are going to be left to the states, this is what must continue to happen.
Instead of funneling money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a roof over their head and access to medical and mental health care.
