my MAGA dad has three daughters and still votes R. Little does he know about the miscarriages and abortion amongst them. I find it hard to forgive him. |
My dad was saved from being MAGA, though a lifelong Republican, when my sister needed an abortion for a wanted child who had genetic abnormalities inconsistent with life and had to ask my parents to help her frantically call providers before she was past her states deadline, lest she need to travel out of state. It’s never real for some of them until they see it. |

I'm a woman. Will never vote R again (admittedly it's been a long time already but was open to it at one point).
Keep your hands off my daughter's uterus and medical choices, fu---ers. |
And this is what those douches don’t get. They think that in finally maybe kinda slowly starting to get rid of Trump, they’ll reclaim their party. Their party is forced birth, even without Trump. There’s an inner rot in the GOP that a lot of women can see now. Though lots of women, like those on this thread bragging that they and all their friends were excitedly voting against their own rights, have deeply internalized self hatred. I guess they ascribe to the “it’s better to reign in hell than serve in heaven” philosophy, but they’re serving in hell and excited about it. |
You maga dada and every other man if they know it or not. They are ignorant. |
Every other maga man*. But many informed men in did vote to try to protect women's rights. |
Maybe you should tell him about these abortions and miscarriages so that he can empathize when it’s his own family? You can’t blame him for not knowing if you don’t tell him! |
If not his own family, then another's family. If he doesn't know than he wants to be ignorant. Do these people really think evey pregnancy goes smoothly from conception to birth? Wake up and inform yourself with some factual information. |
I get what you are saying but really that is just an assumption. People can see things with more empathy when their own loved ones are involved. That’s almost universal. Secrets and lies just distort the issue. Truth needs to be communicated especially amongst family members or else we hamper the ability of a person to see an issue clearly. People ARE ignorant many times so truth is the antidote. |
Please. How ignorant and arrogant these men are. They never think something horrible like a miscarriage requiring abortion or rape could ever happen to their daughters. But, even if it did, they would then just go to a blue state to get the medical procedure done, never once think about their hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance on their way there. Low taxes and gun rights are more important than a "possibility". |
