The maddening thing about Kavanaugh, Northam, Fairfax is that women lose in all cases.

Kavanaugh gets confirmed despite a backlash - a woman's right to choose and maybe legal abortion are on the line.

IF Northam and Fairfax resign and possibly get replaced by Republicans- the progress Virginia was trying to make to fight potential curbing of a woman's right to choose by SCOTUS is on the line.

It's pretty much all a perfect storm for women's health issues at this point, and I don't know what to do about it, but it infuriates me.

1. Kinda' odd you didn't mention trump

Women only seem to "win" in cases like former Senator Franken or former Congressman Conyers or just about any other Democrat.

NEVER a pubican.

Like I said, kinda' odd. When women "win" it's always against a Democrat. Never a pubican.

2. Not quite what I was getting at.

I'm referring to the fact that women's health issues are at stake here, not one man vs. one woman.

3. Well, if this all infuriates you

Maybe we should stop forcing Democrats to resign. That paves the way for all those things that infuriate you. So, that's something we all can do about it.

Win first. Undo everything the traitors have done. Then clean house.

4. Northam sexually assaulted someone?

8. Not at all what I said. I said that if he resigned, the outcome would harm women.

If Fairfax resigns, the outcome could harm women's health issues (at least if they end up being replaced be Republicans).

I don't seem to be making myself clear, but what I'm trying to get at is that a woman's right to choose is at stake, no matter what. All resignation paths by Northam and Fairfax could lead to a loss of abortion rights. Once again, we're being put into a Hobson's choice and it shouldn't be that way.

6. I noted in another OP that the statute of limitations has not yet run in Massachusetts

Perhaps Dr. Tyson should file criminal charges and seek a police investigation and trial. Wouldn't that go a long way toward making sure she's vindicated in this situation?

7. Fairfax isn't resigning over a simple he said/she said

if she wants to press charges, then that is a whole new ballgame
