[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are talking about it.  It's a draconian law to solve a rare problem, that will potentially hurt married women when they try to vote.  But sadly, it's not the worst thing Republicans are doing to women under this administration.

Democrats opposing the bill framed it as an unnecessary effort to address a rare practice that is already illegal. And they warned that the legislation would have substantial unintended consequences, making it more difficult for large swaths of Americans — including women who change their name upon marriage — to vote.

“Republicans would force Americans into a paperwork nightmare, burying voter registration under a mountain of bureaucracy and red tape,” Representative Joseph D. Morelle of New York said.

Much of their argument focused on married women whose birth certificates have names that do not match their current legal names. Democrats argued that they would find it difficult to produce the documentation required by the bill, thus disenfranchising them.

“Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?” Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee, wrote in a message on social media. “Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.” Her post urged women to call their congressional representatives to oppose the bill, and after the measure passed, she added another message encouraging them to “make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.”

Mr. Morelle responded to every Republican who spoke in favor of the measure by citing the number of women in their district who might be affected by it and the number of residents without passports who might find themselves unable to register to vote.

I don’t think Republicans consider it a problem for women to not be allowed to vote. [/quote]

They should- lots of married conservative women vote for them. I think a majority white women voted for Trump, right?[/quote]

But not a majority of women. [/quote]
