IMO. Vaccine mandates aren't forcing people to take a vaccine, though. You just won't have a particular job, or attend school, etc. But you still have a right to refuse it.

I understand questions like yours, I used to ask them myself. But I finally realized - just as realized that gun-humpers were fully prepared to sacrifice their own children to gun violence, rather than cross the NRA in order to protect anyone else's children from it - that anti-choicers have zero interest in anyone's, including fetuses', actual lives. They are not pro-life. They are pro-forced-birth, regardless of the circumstances. regardless of the mother's life and health. They don't care if the forced birth results in a dead fetus, they don't care if the forced birth is of an already dead or nonviable fetus. Their only goal is totally controlling women's reproductive systems.

Logic simply does not apply on any level.

Keep them home, barefoot and pregnant. Financially dependent on a man, no job, no college

The old school males have long been hysterical over women advancing too far in our society and living independently and happily without husbands.

Just like Obama being President, I believe, was a trigger for more racism.

When Joe & Kamala were elected, I heard ridiculous complaints about Kamala, not Joe. After all, he is a white male, so he is "safe."

Rednecks hate women, especially Black women, because they fear them!

What better way to keep them down than go force pregnancy to term? Barefoot & pregnant should bd the qpuke motto!

Independent and wealthy women, women in elected office or otherwise in charge and running a state or a city definitely triggers these Neanderthals. “I ain’t takin’ no orders from no feeemale.”

My answer: "ABSOFUCKINGLOUTELY!"

Rednecks: "Well, I'll leave the country."

Me: "Go ahead!"

Sadly, none of them left tbat I know of.

My conservative SISTER was griping after Joe and Kamala got elected.

“She’s going to be calling all the shots now. Everything will be all about race non stop.” Uugghh

Wish those rednecks you spoke to had kept their word!
