It won't stand.

Ours is a red state, but we voted down right to work, an abortion ban, and then voted to require a $15 minimum wage and paid sick leave.

We're not fascists. Just, apparently, a state that got fed up with Democrats' excuses.

You can think that, but the overwhelming majority that voted against the state abortion ban would suggest you're wrong, but sure, keep swallowing everything your social media algorithm is telling you and don't give it any thought.

From where I'm sitting, voting in a $15 minimum wage, required paid sick leave, and voting down an abortion ban objectively means we Missourians have done more for leftist politics than Democrats in DC, where they just expect you all to eat excuses.

Wait, if there's no abortion ban, why the registry?

For the same reason that, even where abortion is legal, there are a zillion regulations governing clinics: you can make things effectively illegal by adding as many regulatory hurdles as possible.
