The thing is, once somebody proposes restricting the freedom of women to travel from one state to another, we actually don’t have to care about their ideas about marginal tax brackets or international trade or whatever

Yes, we can. We can do both and all. Making things worse here won’t solve anything over there. As a matter of fact, it will make it infinitely worse and we won’t take in any refugees if the GOP has their way.

Agreed, and in so doing they are also literally arguing that we should not be a country any more, and that we should go back to being a confederacy of states.

Yeah, their problem definitely is rooted in their belief that only some people deserve full human rights and the rest of us can literally F off and die.

The problem is that too few Americans find that disqualifying—and find it downright appealing.

And we saw it happen and let it.

I mean what if you Mum, best friend, whatever lives in the next state?
Surely some Republican women will think of that. Let alone work, travel, just general “FREEDOM” that the USA is supposedly based on!!

I think that is what the conservative women of Kansas (and they ARE conservative, mostly) were thinking about when they soundly rejected that bs.

"You're not going to agree with every policy of a party" is a thing that has been said to me.

🙄 It’s insulting when someone says that in all seriousness. If I don’t have bodily autonomy, then nothing else matters. Some people just don’t have any sense at all.

This is the right take, of course. Now let's make it mainstream.

My thing is, the guy nominated for president exhorted a mob to go murder everyone in a building where a lot of my friends work, and his other party members and supporters are fine with that. I am never entertaining their ideas on trade, immigration, civil rights, etc. No one owes them a debate.

Of course, proposed ravel restrictions quite predictable, as per 2022. LA1-4, especially items B) and C).

As woman, I find it reassuring that at least some men grasp the gravity of a situation that we've collectively been aware of for centuries.

And how do GOP women justify their vote? a) it won't happen to good women so thus not to me or anyone I care about. Madness

I liked the idea I heard yesterday of imposing the apartheid legal standards on proposals to create duel systems of law regarding women's right to choose.

That edit is just sitting there. Within me, like two old timey gunslingers stareing each other down, is both the urge to ignore it or delete/correct it. G'ah!

Yeh, it's like taking a driver test:
Once you hit someone you don't get to finish to "see how you'd do the rest"

Quick question— once we reach post menopause, are we allowed to travel freely again? What if we’re “childless cat ladies”?

Only if you accompany your grandchild. Or if you show evidence that you are traveling to help with your grandchildren. You need a purpose for travel 😁

Probably for a little while. Then they will come up with reasons to jail us so that we can work those fields once they deport all the migrant workers.

To be fair their ideas about tax brackets and international trade are also bad
