The female relatives I talked to who are actual swing voters all said RTL is what decided their vote.Interesting take.
The personhood initiatives I've seen have been poorly drafted and would probably create unintended consequences.

I agree they could have been better written, but I was happy to kick-in elbow grease and money as a way to support RTL. Buck was on the record essentially backing it. That's what sunk him. He was up a couple points before they came out with the negative ads on his RTL stances. I was a little flummoxed that my relatives let that decide their vote, but they did. Disappointing. All are regular church-goers (catholic & lutheran), but said they could never vote for someone with Buck's views on RTL.
I'm not going to be on board with another personhood push anytime soon. It's a SCOTUS problem for the time being, and it's causing too much blowback for the state GOP with female voters.
