I am progressive as heck, but wow the Republicans fixed the DMV here by running it like a business. Not every part of government is amenable to that (which is where they go wrong) but some departments really can.
Also I am pro choice very much so, but personally wouldn’t have, and didn’t have, any abortion, I don’t like it, find it horrifying. Like, my personal choice was hell no. I understand that the consequences of prohibiting abortion are much, much more damaging than allowing them, and do also think the existing woman has more rights than the potential person so maybe that isn’t a political difference.
That’s not anything to do with the running of the DMV though, I mean now when you go the process is smooth and on time, when it used to be a mess. They made it so most of the stuff you used to have to go wait all day to do, can now be done by appointment at the tax collector office, it’s a huge and very organized process. The employees there don’t make the rules, the bigotry is a different problem and comes from the state not the county.

I’d argue the pandemic is what fixed the dmv, not running it like a business.
It’s often lost that in the pro-choice conversation, chosing to keep the pregnancy is also a valid choice.
Transgender people in many states are probably not happy about the DMV. (I’m Canadian and cis so I may not understand this much.)
