NYT: reports pro life gains across the US

New York Times article even admits it.... pro life or as they like to call it abortion foes have taken over even in states they used to be able to count on in the pro abortion category or as they like to refer to it as reproductive rights as in the right not to reproduce after the pregnancy was started.

I would take exception to their graph showing TN as not darkened showing that both gov. and state legislature solidly "pro life." See this post showing it.

"The biggest shift is in the state capitols, with 29 governors now considered to be solidly anti-abortion, compared with 21 last year. “This is worrisome because the governors have been the firewall, they’ve vetoed a lot of bad anti-choice legislation,” said Ted Miller, a spokesman for Naral Pro-Choice America.

The politics of abortion have changed profoundly in some larger states including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. 

In 15 states, compared with 10 last year, both the legislature and the governor are anti-abortion, according to a new report by Naral, and those joining this category include larger states like Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as Georgia and Oklahoma. Maine and Pennsylvania are now strongly anti-abortion as well, if not quite as solidly."
