Really is amazing to see an activist in that role not knowing the judicial reasoning for such.
Hard to believe.

https://reason.com/2022/06/27/glenn-youngkins-proposed-15-week-abortion-ban-speaks-to-abortion-moderates/
On Friday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) announced that he would push for legislation restricting most abortions after 15 weeks. Shortly following the Supreme Court's decision repealing Roe v. Wade (1973), Youngkin's office said that it would enlist four Republican lawmakers to draft a bill banning abortions in the state after 15 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest, and cases where the mother's life is endangered. Youngkin also indicated that he would be willing to compromise on a 20-week ban.
"I'm proud to be a pro-life Governor and plan to take every action I can to protect life," Youngkin said in a Friday press release. "The truth is, Virginians want fewer abortions, not more abortions. We can build a bipartisan consensus on protecting the life of unborn children, especially when they begin to feel pain in the womb, and importantly supporting mothers and families who choose life."
Youngkin's proposal is unlikely to draw opposition from abortion moderates. A 2022 Pew Research poll indicated that 71 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in at least some circumstances. Gallup reported similar numbers in 2018 but noted that while "six in 10 U.S. adults think abortion should generally be legal in the first three months of pregnancy….Support drops by about half, to 28%, for abortions conducted in the second three months, and by half again, to 13%, in the final three months."

I think this is where most states will be in the next 4-8 years with your Mississippi’s and California’s sprinkled in.
IMO, this is a much better outcome for pro-choice Democrats than Roe v Wade. If pro-choice is a winning platform like they claim it is, this will give them an issue to campaign on in battleground states.

Gavin got this unexpected surplus and he’s going to spend it as fast as he can ahead of the 2024 presidential election cycle.
DeSantis vs Newsom would be the ultimate Covid referendum

California has had surpluses for years.
Please, please don’t make me vote for Newsom, Democrats.
I wouldn’t mind Polis or Sherrod Brown. I also think those two are in the order of your questions. I don’t think Polis can win in a Primary.

Go back less than a decade and you had the governor claiming insolvency. But yes you are technically right that they have had small surpluses the last few years which went towards paying off a massive debt.
I’m speaking to specifically this one time windfall of $97B that Newsom is making very clear that he intends to spend every last dime.
