Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has proposed asking voters whether they are in favor of allowing “dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth.”
What a dumbass.

You made that number up. I read the entire article, and not only does it not say that anywhere (and in fact, 64% isn’t a figure used for any metric), it says 49% support some form of restriction versus 47% who want expansive abortion rights.
The problem is “some form of restriction” is a terrible metric to categorize people. Does that mean FDA regulating mifepristone? Because 63% support having at least prescription access to it. Does it mean having better laws? Because 61% think the overturning of Dobbs was a bad decision. Does it mean preventing first trimester abortions? Because 69% support abortion access in the first trimester.
I don’t know where you got “64% support some form of restriction” from, but it certainly wasn’t your source.
My friend, are you illiterate? From the article:
Now add them and tell me what you get…
The 47% and 49% figures that you’re reading are made from a subdivision of that 51% “certain circumstances” category. Like, it says that right above those figures. To that end, that 47% doesn’t mean no abortion restrictions – it means “legal in all or most cases.”
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
