At this point, women voters need to step up if they want to see change. The fact there are so many women who continue to vote Republican tells me this ultimately isn't very important to them.
The First Amendment prohibits the government from imposing one set of religious beliefs on others, but Texas' new draconian law and other attempts by states to ban reproductive freedom do just that. Blocking abortion access is just one item on the Christian nationalist agenda that religious extremists and their lawmaker allies are pushing, to force all of us to live by their beliefs.
Many nations can be classified as predominantly Christian, but only few allow religious ideology to influence their reproductive health laws.

Exactly!
Wealthier abortion patients with adequate resources will overcome costs and other barriers that restrictive abortions law throw in front of them , but poor abortion-seekers will be more likely to seek unsafe, even deadly, procedures.
If men had their bodies regulated like women do now - abortion would be a sacrament.
If men weren’t so intent on controlling and punishing women we would have free access to birth control, universal health care, early and continuing sex education starting in elementary school, making childcare affordable and feasible, parental leave, increasing WIC, hard sentencing for rape, fixing the foster care system and making adoption more available and affordable.
Make no mistake - this is about control not abortion.
The only reason to have sex is for procreation. If you dont want to have a gd child, then keep your dam legs closed! How hard is that to understand?
This is a joke, right?
