Everytime a Repub man opens his mouth about women's bodies, 10 new female voters get their wings.

The Men Just Keep Talking
There is something happening with angry women voting on abortion. Male politicians don’t seem to have noticed.
BY DAHLIA LITHWICK

Long after the time had passed for male GOP officials to stop, to just stop, pretending they know or understand anything about female anatomy, reproductive organs, medical emergencies and basic preventative health care, they have continued to talk. They have continued to talk and talk and talk even when the massive blowback after the Dobbs decision proved it was an error; Kansas proved it was an error; and after the surprise election of Pat Ryan in a New York special election proved it was an error. Every time a Republican man opens his mouth to talk about women’s bodies, ten new female voters get their wings. Yet somehow, they cannot seem to stop themselves!

...........

It’s not mere coincidence that new polling shows that “threats to democracy” is suddenly ranked as the number one issue for registered voters. It rolled in at 21 percent, this week, overtaking the economy, crime, and abortion. When you are repeatedly being told by those in power that your preferences don’t matter and when those in power believe that saying the quiet parts out loud is electorally costless, they aren’t just saying that women don’t matter. They’re saying democracy doesn’t matter either. But it turns out they don’t get to decide that. You do.

Seriously this is what these guys think.

6. But, but, but

I thought this was a non-issue going into the midterms?

The conservatives are now in the finding out stage when they go for forced birth.

7. repubs long ago lost touch with what the majority of Americans really want...

They've been in their Christo-fascist bubble too long.

Roe v Wade was just the start. That is the "slippery slope" that is really facing us, an increasingly rapid decline into Christian Dominionism. Their greatest nightmare is coming to pass, people are getting "woke."

10. I happen to be a spiritual person but either Thom H or Mike M back on Air America told us....

about Christian Dominists. 😱
I went on to some sites... 😱😱🤪


I don't like fundies in any religion that I know of, particularly when they try to run your life (as they are now doing to our women sisters in certain States 😭🤬🤬 )

So I've know about them about 20+ years.

8. Uh, Matt...do you own a mirror?

In July Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., asked a gathering of like-minded misogynists “Have you watched these pro-abortion, pro-murder rallies?… The people are just disgusting. But why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.”

Every time I think this clown has hit rock bottom, he proves me wrong.

9. He just means...

... They're past adolescence. Any woman older than that is not Matt's cup of tea.

12. I wish someone would make a t-shirt with this saying on it.
