| You know, living in DC truly made me a coastal elite. I can’t help but think less highly of Republicans in flyover states when they start pulling this traditionalist BS |

Please always remember that there are millions of us Democrats living in the middle of the country too. |

Yes - and the fact that the PP used the term "flyover states" makes PP ignorant and arrogant at the same time. People - STOP using that ridiculous term! |

| Ban birth control, GOP. See how that works out for the useless dregs that make up your party. Women don’t need men for sexual release or companionship- in fact, we often do better on both counts when men aren’t involved. If the choice is between unwanted pregnancy or making someone “feel like a man”, the choice is easy. |

This is a fact. Interesting study of women with serious chronic illnesses, they actually did better, lived longer, and were in better health once they divorced their spouses. |

+1 It doesn’t endear those of us who live in the middle to you and it sounds like you imagine yourselves to be that much more important than us. Again, many of us are Democrats. Many of us have lived on the coasts - our dads knew the mayor, too, if I can cite Jim Gaffigan. You need more women in the middle of the country to listen to you, to understand what the GOP wants to do to our rights and to vote for Democrats. Do not insult us based on where we live. |

RvW was ended in DC. Literally. By Justices who live in and around DC. I actually vacated a house and the neighbors told me a Justice moved in. They are your actual contemporaries in your city. Just to be completely clear. |

And they don't care about you because they have contempt for you. That should be obvious. |

Sounds like you’re trying to sow dissent. I get irritated by “flyover states,” which was a phrase uttered to me unironically more than once when I lived in DC. I reserve my actual ire for the forced birthers who think they can put me and every other woman into a form of slavery. |

I'm trying to sew dissent, by suggesting that a person who identifies as a coastal elite and who refers to non coastal states as "flyover states" might have contempt? How ELSE can someone interpret that? What I'm trying to sew is self respect. People shouldn't beg someone like that to please stop calling them names. |

Four years ago it was unthinkable to most that Roe would be overturned. Many of us warned that’s what the GOP was doing but people were not read to process the extent of the GOP’s insanity and misogyny. To many it’s unthinkable that the GOP would make birth control illegal, but it is what they would do if they get elected and in only a few months they have become much more obvious about this. (And one does not ‘sew’ dissent like cloth, one ‘sows’ it like a seed). |

And here we are: “Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03/21/stopping-birth-control-misinformation/ |
