It's sadly going to require further limitations to really get outcry to where it needs to be. I, too, am originally from a "safer" state, but the bordering state to my childhood hometown could easily go either way. The poor and other most vulnerable, as always, will be the most affected.
I had a best friend from kindergarten until 7th grade who is a doctor now and took a big job offer in Boise Idaho last year and I'm dying to know what her poltical beliefs are like. The guy who I think is the front runner in my state is the one I'm the most worried about. In one of his commercials he made a totally transphobic comment and I couldn't believe the **** that came out of his mouth.
