For what it’s worth, this particular case happened 2 years ago, in Missouri:

Nutpicking. For every “Haha! Instant Karma! Suck it, idiots!” front page circle jerk, a thousand conservatives will get abortions under the table without a problem.

You’ve got to go two years back on this shit because its ultimately the exception, not the rule.

Missouri just voted to make them legal again, so not sure your point.

I think that’s what makes it notable enough to be reported on?

80% white. 40% with a high school education or less.

In 2022, over 100 anti-vaccination protesters rallied at the state Capitol against health director Donald Kauerauf’s confirmation, despite his opposition to mask and vaccine mandates. Protesters displayed signs reading “God-given natural immunity” and “We’re not guinea pigs.”

In 2024, House Bill 1424 was introduced to prohibit COVID-19 vaccination requirements for transportation access. Missouri Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt co-sponsored federal legislation to ban mask mandates through 2024.

The state as a whole gives a certain vibe…
