In turn, women need to vote like their rights depend on it. Because you might find in a years time that there is a nationwide abortion ban and there is nowhere left to go.
Well you see, according to conservatives, women doing any of those things are acting counter for their god-given gender roles. As such, they are transgender, and deserve to have their rights taken away…
Did you really think the focus on trans people is actually ultimately about trans people?
There is a big population of women who are past childbearing age that are voting for Trump. It’s fucked up, but just getting women to vote may not work. They need to get young women to vote.
So many elderly women are going to be voting who no longer have skin in the abortion game.
Is this sarcasm? What about people who are infertile? Take away their vote? I had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 28 after my only child was born. Should I not have been allowed to vote after that?
Yes, selfish sociopaths exist but, believe it or not, most people are able to use empathy to put ourselves in others’ shoes without having to literally be in their position.
I’m talking about the 70 year olds voting for things that will never affect them because they will die before they see the consequences. not infertile women. why should we let outdated mentalities affect those of us with over half our lives left? that’s how we lost abortion access.
i also support age limits for those holding political office :)
Because that’s ageist. You’re operating on stereotypes. Everyone over 70 I know is socialist, and my dad, who’s 88, is the most socialist person I know because he remembers this rhetoric from when he was a child. He was the first in 2015 to say to me he’d heard trump’s rhetoric before, and it led to very bad places.
Why should my dad, who says he doesn’t vote for himself, but for his kids and grandkids, not be allowed to vote?
Plenty of people of all ages have empathy. You only hear from the most obnoxious bastards because their insane ramblings get clicks and eyeballs, but painting all people of any age with a brush dipped in the most unhinged is not productive.

And of course they’ll stop at abortion right…
Birth control.
Right to marry.
Right to vote.
It wasn’t too long ago that women couldn’t have a credit card or a bank account.
Leaving a hospital unaccompanied…

The KKKaren vote
and this is why there should be an age limit to vote. once you pass the age where your vote affects you personally, you’re out.

If your comment isn’t /s it’s pretty offensive.
