Senate Republicans on Wednesday took a hard look at Tuesday night’s punishing election results in some key battleground states, and they’re not pleased with what they’re seeing.

“Yesterday to me was a complete failure,” said Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

Republicans were handed a string of rebukes, from red-state Kentucky’s projected move to reelect Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear to Virginia projected to elect Democratic majorities in both chambers of its state Legislature, likely thwarting GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s election promise to enact a 15-week abortion ban.

    If you had said biological males had no right to make abortion decisions, I’d be with you… but saying I can’t even have an opinion on the topic because the way I was born is somewhere between laughably moronic and maliciously sexist. I’m not even saying I should have a say in the decision my partner has if she happens to get pregnant, but I can and will have an opinion. You might consider it an uninformed opinion since I don’t have a life of experience as a woman, but it’s still an opinion. Hell, just being a living human being means having the right to think for yourself, which is the essence of having an opinion. You are saying I don’t have the right to think for myself because I was born a male.
