A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

    Perhaps all the appallingly egregious gerrymandering that ensures democrats can’t win in many areas should be addressed?

    Democrats could run Jesus himself and lose in many places.

        Definitely not. But we have to recognise which issues supersede others, and which must be fixed before it’s even physically possible to address the other things.

        It’s like fretting over the train being on schedule before the tracks have been laid. Yes, many things need fixing and several are dire, but without the tracks, shouting at the conductor to make the train go faster is futile.
