A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that only 28% of Americans support overturning Roe v. Wade. If you're not in that 28%, help out by funding abortion care in the South, where restrictions already abound and providers need support: scalawagmagazine.org/2022/01…

Republican state legislators and governors could be a part of the solution to stop gun violence. But they'd rather sell out children's safety for campaign contributions from the gun lobby.

This shooting at a children’s baseball game in Charleston, South Carolina, isn’t an anomaly. This is America’s new normal, enabled by greedy gun lobbyists and lawmaker allies. And if they have their way, no one will be safe anywhere. Video by @ABCNews4
