Analysis: For every woman voting for new abortion bans in Missouri, Georgia and Alabama, seven men did
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signing a bill that virtually outlaws abortion in the state on May 15 in Montgomery, Ala. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow May 16 at 11:33 AM There was something unusual about the governor of Alabama signing into law legislation that severely restricts access to abortions in that state.
We looked at vote tallies for antiabortion laws in three states, assessing how many men and women in each party supported the measures. In Alabama, there were enough votes from Republican men alone to pass the bill in both the state House and Senate. Alabama is unusual though: Because a number of legislators in the state House declined to vote on the bill that they opposed, twice as many women voted for it as against it.
Missouri was also unusual because several Democratic men joined the majority in passing the law. Generally, party is a much better predictor of votes on these bills than gender, but there are still defectors.
