10. It is the laws

they are passing and trying to pass that are beginning to take center stage. In many states legislatures are pushing to force women into carrying unviable, life threatening fetuses to term. laws passing that if a woman has an unviable pregnancy and needs a medical abortion that the DR performing it has to try to save the fetus, first. Women are waking up. These laws could kill them or put them in prison for murder.

Factor in the republicon comments about rape. Then abortion laws being pushed with no exception for rape. A woman or child can get raped, a forced pregnancy with no recourse. What state is it where the DR preforming an abortion under this circumstance can get sued by the rapist?

How can a woman vote R and expect their rights to be protected? Sharia/republican laws.

It infuriates me that women defend the usage of hideous gender slurs can not or refuse to see how language feeds into the mindset of the people who make and support these laws. It allows them the justification needed to control women.
