Mobilize

South Dakota has elections this year. The population is actually about evenly split on whether they describe themselves as "pro choice" or "pro life" despite the fact that the state just outlawed abortion. There is a primary in June and a general election in November for the state legislature. I don't know enough about the state to have grand ideas about how to implement the strategy, but if we really had a mobilized choice movement in this country a priority would be figuring out how to punish as many state lawmakers there as possible by voting their asses out of office. The bill was passed with overwhelming support in both of South Dakota's houses, and at least some of those who voted for it must be vulnerable.
