Right to privacy between a woman and her doctor.

since most women change their names when married or divorced. This provides additional documentation and time that is not required for men.

How many state houses are needed before a constitutional convention can be called thirty four? That leaves only four left to go. They will have the supreme court backing them. I feel they're moving to something horrible.

Even if they don't start screwing with the actual laws, you've already got clerks doing everything possible to make it harder for women to get an ID.

The funny thing was when I got to the polls that election day, I accidentally handed the lady my passport card (no address) and she didn't even notice. It looks a lot like the Ohio license did at the time.

If I'm carrying a fetus then I'm entitled to two votes. Am I right?
In that case, the women outnumber the men two to one.

Understand that. Most of them wish that Trump would grab them by their p***y because they are with men who won't.
