They worded it so if you wanted to ban abortion, you voted yes. Most pro-life voters are going to see abortion and vote no.
“Most pro-life voters are going to see abortion and vote no.”
Confirmed. I noticed on a youtube channel this was being discussed and another individual was explaining how voters they knew got this mixed up precisely as you described. Apparently a lot of pro-life voters botched this and voted in a way diametrically opposed to their own values out of misunderstanding the statement on the ballot.
There is a certain amount of “legalize” required with these things simply by definition and after 2 or 3 comma separated phrases the non-legal mind just starts to glaze over trying to understand it, unfortunately.
