The right to choose whether or not to have a child. The GOP has been trying to take away that right of women since the 1970s. Even though Conservatives lost and keep losing that fight, they keep fighting it anyway because they're too stupid to admit defeat.
That's why inbred right-wing racist Southern GOP assholes still fly Confederate flags as if it's something to be proud of.
Dear KNB: the problem is worse than that. The men who are half the cause of pregnancy put the burden on the women.
When will we see leaders stand up and start enforcing laws holding MEN PROPORTIONALLY responsible for their part of the decision to have sex and cause pregnancy?
What if we defined different degrees of "rape" for acts that result in "unwanted sex, pregnancy, children or abortion." And hold BOTH partners equally accountable for abuse.
But do more to go after MEN who coerce sex, and hold those MEN responsible for restitution to the women instead of playing politics with laws to "symbolize" defense of prochoice or prolife.
The problem with the bipartisan political set up is
it is abused by MEN to fight other MEN for territory, dominance and pecking order.
Both parties are guilty of abusing political bullying to "divide and conquer" for control.
That is a patriarchal problem with the system. Men need to have semblance of control,
and the content and consequences of the political stances taken are secondary.
We need to focus on solutions and content of the policies that work for all people. And quit this political posturing and pack mentality that is killing relations, wasting resources, dividing and destroying our nation.
