Take @realdonaldtrump at his word. He wants to punish women for exercising their reproductive freedom. He promised to nominate to SCOTUS someone who would automatically overturn Roe v. Wade. We need to fight like womens lives and freedom are on the line. Because they are.

(1,017 posts)Trump doesn't even care about this issue or if there's a conservative court. He didn't even know what that meant until people told him during the campaign and after he became pres a year ago.
Trump's like an overgrown child that's being told what to do by people behind the scenes, given a list of who to nominate....and return he gets to play president. He's a really pathetic figure.

(44,129 posts)being the center of attention and having everyone hang on his every word and having everyone thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. He really is a pathetic figure.

(51,377 posts)During the campaign he said that the rich should pay more in taxes and that he would give everyone excellent healthcare and drain the corruption out of the DC swamp. He really will say anything that he thinks his audience wants to hear. But in the end, he does what the GOP establishment wants.

(9,880 posts)After all, the anti-abortion protesters regularly stand outside clinics like Planned Parenthood with signs and sometimes they even physically accost women going into the PP offices. Some clinics have had to ask volunteers to stay outside and help escort women into the clinic. We should be doing the same (except accosting women). Protest the clinics and hold signs informing women that they are Christian propagandists without medical training and will force them to watch horrendous abortion videosno doubt manipulated to show inaccuracy. And signs that say things like You will be told inside that abortions cause cancera complete lie. They do not. and Heres where you can find a real womens healthcare clinic with well-trained medical personnel (with local addresses/phone numbers).

(63,221 posts)Only the women are to be punished. The men get off scot free. It would serve men in this country right if women refused to sleep with them until they got out on the streets and fought for the rights of women to have bodily autonomy. Or if they refused to have sex until marriage, until their was a legal obligation to any children born.

(5,210 posts)which is a patriarchal construct, is PRECISELY a felt "need" to punish women for their sexuality.
Sometimes men will inadvertently stumble over that, which is usually mostly hidden in their subconscious / unconscious, and say something revelatory.
Anyone remember Sandra Fluke and the issue of contraceptive insurance coverage? One day as Rush Limbaugh was excoriating her (a daily occurrence), he let it slip that contraceptives allow "sex without consequences."
It's okay for men to have no consequences, but women MUST have the consequences of pregnancy and birth.
Sex without consequences. Think about it. In fact, never forget. The punishment isn't just for sex, but for being female to start with.
