Since my original post I've had the chance to read up on some of the background in this particular case and it's more than fair to say that every case differs, every community varies, and what is happening here or there doesn't make it so everywhere.

All that said, there are still frightening trends like the push back against the ACA generally and womens' reproductive and self-defense protections specifically.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
