"ABORTION DECISIONS 'BELONG' TO 'GENTLEMEN' REPS!"

I am a man and this makes me furious. I cannot even begin to imagine how ENRAGED it makes the women here.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/don-bolduc-abortion-rights-republican-state-legislators_n_633f0ce0e4b0e376dbff9386

New Hampshire GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc told supporters this week that he thinks the future of abortion rights “belongs” to Republican “gentlemen” state lawmakers, who he claims know best how to give women a voice on their reproductive rights.

Is showing up at the ballot box this November! The sad thing is, there are many, many lizard brained Republicans who think like this. This jackass is totally wrong. We need MORE women in legislative office, not fewer.

Too many think "politics" and "politicians" are all the same so why bother having to go vote?

Millions eligible to vote never showed up, or only show up in presidential ones and only vote on the top names... not knowing any down ballot.

Watching the National Women's Soccer Team in a Friendlies in London last night, I was furious seeing a section of red white and blue fans cheering and chanting USA. The red white and blue was all trump garb. Many young attractive intelligent looking women still bowing to that pig. A soccer match for gods sake. MAGA’s hate soccer. Musta been Packers fans, they play there tomorrow. Embarrassing that trump ignorant cult is out being seen internationally. We are a laughing stock.
Back our women, the ones with a cell of a brain, and let’s bury these male AND female idiots.

If a man “tells” a woman what to do … he isn’t a gentleman. Or in my opinion, much of a man at all.

Sat Oct 8, 2022, 07:18 PM
Oct 2022

than doing it at the federal level?

I mean, I think that may be what he was trying to say? Either way, of course, it's utter hogwash. The way to give women a voice is for the government to butt the fuck out of our personal health care decisions! 😡

The desire of some lawmakers to ban abortion is rooted in a deep distrust of our ability to make decisions for ourselves and an utter lack of respect for us as rational, thinking human beings. In other words: it's the patriarchy!

I don't remember any of the people involved, but there was an African American Woman being interviewed about some Democrat who had a history of "looking out for the interests of AA people". Her response was something like...

"We don't want someone in the back room looking out for our interests. We want to break the goddam door down!"

Amen!
