Kudos to the Voters of Albuquerque

For the reasons discussed by Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, unlike a a lot of anti-choice strategies the attempt to enact a municipal ban on abortions after 20 weeks couldn’t be exported to a lot of other places. Nevertheless, the defeat of the proposed ban by 10 points is evidently excellent news, not only because of the immense importance of the clinic that was being targeted but because it suggests that more pro-choice voters are starting to see through “moderate” regulations of abortion as the inequitable trojan horses that they are.
