    If you’re a woman and vote to put any Republican in power in this country, no matter how small or local, you must be insane.

      From the conservative women I know, it’s because they don’t think these Draconian laws will ever apply to them…which is just characteristic of them.

      They don’t think abortion should be legal because they can control their own sexual activities. If women (i.e. slutty liberals) want to have sex then they should be punished blessed with a child.

      Women conservatives are just conservatives. They don’t think the law will apply to them.

      I get your point, but let’s not imply that it’s only women’s job to vote Republicans out. Policies detrimental to women diminish and damage the whole country and that’s everyone’s responsibility.

        I don’t think anyone was saying all the responsibility belongs to women. I think they were saying that women, among other targeted groups, should have extra motivation to vote these people out.

          I did choose the word ‘imply’ instead of ‘say’ for a reason. And yes, implication is subjective so my comment was just my opinion. In any case, I would like to see men and all people experience that urgency and motivation just as strongly.
