I listened to an interview with Brian Schatz on the Lovett or Leave IT podcast last night, and so much of what he had to say is important enough that I took the time transcribe the quotes below.
Q: You brought up the Supreme Court battle…
People don’t think choice is really gonna be taken away, and yet that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.
These people are absolutely committed to taking away women’s reproductive choice. they are going to do it as a matter of constitutional law. Now, we have recourse at the state level and maybe even in the federal government at the statutory level. But that’s actually what’s going to happen.

This is the a post for anyone who wants to talk about this year’s Florida Amendments.
The intention is to provide a jumping off point for discussion, and a place for BJ folks to share their views, not to suggest to anyone how they should vote.
Anonymous at Work asked for this one for Florida, and graciously agreed to share his views to get us started. There are 6 this year, so there’s quite a bit of ground to cover.
