Texas Veteran, former United States Marine Sergeant, Katherine Wyatt:"I can only imagine what fellow female service members feel like who have fought for women across the globe, only to come home and have our constitutional and human rights eroded in the form of abortion access."

Trump backers tweet #repealthe19th after polls show he'd win if only men voted
As polls show that Donald Trump would overwhelmingly win if only men were allowed to vote, the GOP nominee's supporters have spawned a new Twitter hashtag: #repealthe19th.
Thats a reference to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

(1,654 posts)Just think of all the "spies" around watching GYN offices, just in case they may be counseling a woman about abortion. Heck, Uber and Lyft may go out of business in Texas because of the threat of bankruptcy over driving a woman to a suspected abortion. They won't get anyone to drive or individual drivers may turn down a ride if the office is to a medical building because you don't know who they are going to see. It's going to destroy trust even in families if a brother or sister turns vigilante on you. After the first few reports of family doing it, women will never know who to confide in.
Lawrence Tribe was right. It has roots in bounties for fugitive slaves.
It's bad enough when the state denies a woman agency over her own body, but when the state farms out the enforcement to private citizens for money it's evil.
