      There was some Republicans woman who came to the university campus I was at to “debate” abortion. She had a lot of straight up lies about the biology aspect.

      But she also had previously had an abortion herself.

      And she had like 7 kids.

      She also didn’t think women should be allowed to vote.

      But here she was. Using her feminist freedoms to travel around, instead of being home with her kids and husband, to speak lies and harm girls. To take away their right to choose even tho she herself had an abortion.

      Rights for me but not for thee.

        I’ve been hearing a disturbingly large amount of disdain for the 19th Amendment, I’m legit worried the Right is going to try to repeal it.

            I heard someone say that it should be a “Per household” vote and then the family can “discuss it together” but the husband has “final say”

            So not just taking it from the wife, but from adults who still live with their parents.

              Yeah it’s not a discussion if one person has the final say.

              And you are right. Yes a way to take voting away from other adults . Specifically I think those with disabilities living with parents would be at highest risk to lose their vote.

      Here’s the article I alluded to: https://joycearthur.com/abortion/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-abortion/

      I’m not sure it explains it, but it dives into the phenomenon.

      My best guess is that it’s similar to how people feel they are good drivers and can use their phones while driving but no one else should. Or driving drunk. “Just this once is okay. I’ll be careful.”

      The critical thing to understand is that this isn’t a change of heart. There’s no real regret here. It’s “it was okay for me but not for you.”
