    The fact that killing Roe v Wade didn’t drive every woman in this nation to CRUSH Republicans in this last election shows that we are in a downward spiral with no end in sight.

    Imagine someone taking a human right from you and then you continue to support them to take more rights away from you.

    Yeah. We’re fucked.

      Plenty of women are just as happy removing their own rights as men are because of religious nonsense.

      Also add in “that leopard would never eat my face!” too for good measure.

        “Everyone wanted it left up to the states!” was a female coworker’s favorite line after Roe was overturned. No, Republicans just wanted it left up to the states to pave the way for a national ban. This was coming from a woman that has previously had at least one abortion and is proudly child free.

          “The number of rights you have as a citizen of this country depend solely on which arbitrary lines you happen to be between at this immediate moment” is such a fucking brain dead take, it’s not surprising that Republicans love it.

          I can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics they spin a national ban when weed is now legal in some form without loopholes in over half the states.

      Fox News literally got up on air and told women maybe they shouldn’t be voting since they leaned toward Biden last time and that was such a “disaster” compared to whatever the fuck this nightmare is.

      Then they told a female host “good job you get a cookie now” or some shit when they suggested we should execute people for daring to defy Trump.

      Made me sick to my stomach.

      But of course, zero repercussions, zero pushback.

      The election was completely compromised and so are all the numbers. Watching our country eat each other alive when we literally did NOT vote for this is the craziest experience of my life.

          Gerrymandering is a symptom, not the cause.

          The US needs to get rid of first past the post and use proportional representation, then gerrymandering won’t matter, and tye two party system will fall.

        We need to start screaming that the 2024 election was rigged. We ALL know it. Stop revering this “peaceful transfer of power” bullshit, that isn’t more important than demanding that our Democratic Elections be honored.

        HitlerPig is going to win his 3rd term with 98% of the vote, and declare that the voters have effectively ended the 22nd Amendment, and the Dems will go along with it.

        I have this worry as well. Bullet ballots are my main concern, I think that could have been the play this time around. You got other evidence?

        The anti choice crowd took a vulnerable woman and gave her an income in order to make her a poster child. She was exploited.

        And who cares if she changed her mind later? Other women still deserve reproductive rights.
