RNC speaker believes in head of household voting

Abby Johnson, an anti-abortion activist, is also an advocate for what is called "head-of-household voting" where only the head of household is allowed to vote, specifically only the male head of household. she will be speaking tonight, Tuesday, in a prime time speaking slot.

Head-of-household voting would permit only the head of a household — and not all household members who are citizens over 18 years of age — to cast a ballot. Johnson believes the male member of the household would be the de facto decision maker.


And this gem:

“But what happens when the husband is a Republican and the wife is a Democrat or vice versa?” a Twitter user asked Johnson...“Then they would have to decide on one vote. In a Godly household, the husband would get the final say,” she replied.

women should be allowed to vote.

I assume then, that she doesn't vote...oh wait, I'm sure she does, by choosing the most vile person on the list and voting for that one.

she has also said her adopted biracial child is more likely to commit a crime, statistically, than her white children.

This is who the Republican party is in their soul

as a mother that makes me so angry.

I know several people with adopted kids and they love all of their kids.

I'm also betting she's raising her white boys to be giant douches, because that's the kind of woman she presents as.

Another woman who made a career out of telling other women they shouldn’t have careers. Pretty typical of today’s Republican woman 🙄

The nobility has a harder time exploiting the peasants the more they are educated.

She should take it to the max and demand that all women that think like she does do not vote in November.
