I acknowledge that you said "they should", so that's good, but I have to question why you even thought to use that example? In what world would they not prioritize that? Even if they were all pro-legalizing marijuana, Roe is a decidedly more important issue.
Realistically they would just do both things at once but if we're going to commit to this hypothetical where they can only do one thing at a time, yeah, it goes without saying protecting women's reproductive rights (that were only recently taken away) is more pressing than pot.
I used this example because our Republican Congress and SCOTUS hates women and bodily autonomy.
In what world would they not prioritize that?
The current one where Republicans have control of the House.
but it won’t help those who have suffered criminalization.
Might help with some of the suffering though.
I'm keeping a close eye on these comments, please remember rule #1 and #2
