For everyone or just women?

I mean, both repulsive, but just curious.

It continues to surprise me that women are not more upset about the erosion of abortion rights.

I've heard multiple talk about how women shouldn't vote and then they immediately follow it up with explaining that they think a lot of people shouldn't vote. To be very clear, these are far right wing. But names you would recognize.

Not all women view abortion rights as central to women's rights. If you can read that without getting really upset, let me continue: I believe the main reason femininism is losing its appeal among younger women has to do with abortion and feminism being synonymous. You can believe in, for example, women being able to vote, work, own property, be independent etc while also believing abortion is murder.

Isn't it about paying for an abortion, not forcing women to give birth?

This policy will force women who were raped in the military to give birth to their rapists baby. There is no way around it. Around 25% of women who active duty service members are raped at some time during their service. There are military bases that are more than 1000 miles from the nearest abortion clinic because they are completely surrounded by abortion ban states. The military also is not allowed to give leave for women to obtain an abortion due to recent policy changes. The military controls theses women’s schedule and they have banned access to the procedure even if they are raped. So the answer is unequivocally yes that the military now has a policy of forcing women who were raped to give birth.

100% pp that is “just asking questions” is disingenuous

+1 the Hyde amendment was never about taxpayer funding for abortions. There are plenty of other things that the government does which people find objectionable, but we don’t opt out of funding those because some people disagree with it. Eg. People can’t opt out of paying taxes because they are against the military. The Hyde amendment has always been a tool to restrict access to medical care and ban/restrict access to abortions.

But the reality is that they are not separate in the current environment. Many of the people in these influential organizations that want to ban abortion also want to want to eliminate women’s right to vote and push them out of the work force. Look at the influential people even women who work at the Heritage foundation like Emma Waters. She wants to ban abortion and IVF, ban gay people from having children, says that daycares are bad for society because mothers should mostly be taking care of their kids. If you read between the lines here language is really not different from the men in the 1950s that thought that women should not be in the workforce and should just be housewives.

That 25% is reported unwanted sexual contact, not exclusively rape.

Hegseth is the leader of the DOD and believes this (he pretended he didn't after tweeting in support of his church leaders saying this). And the right revered Charlie Kirk who believed women need to submit to their husbands. "You're not in charge." - his own words. Blatant misogyny.

Then Democrats need to run a viable candidate who supports womens' rights.

You are playing semantics. That number is alarmingly high either way and the reality is that they are creating a situation where many women who are raped will be forced to give birth.

DP.
It's not semantics. The topic is about women who are pregnant as the result of a rape getting an abortion. Not all "sexual contact" has the possibility of pregnancy.

It isn't JUST abortion. It is women's healthcare and particularly with at-risk pregnancies. There are plenty of abortions and other procedures that happen because the mothers health or ability to procreate are at risk.

I am no fan of Project 2025, but this is a fake viral claim.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA): Project 2025 has been linked to proposals to narrow the enforcement of the ECOA, a landmark law passed in 1974 that made it illegal for creditors to discriminate based on sex or marital status (among other categories). Prior to this act, women could often not get credit cards or loans without a male co-signer.

Would the companies be okay with losing around 50% of customers? The poor little CEOs might have to take a pay cut.
