[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why dont we work on preventing pregnancies instead of focusing on abortion? Everyone should be given birth control for free.[/quote]
Republicans don’t like that either.[/quote]

This. Republicans don't want any women to be fully in charge of their bodies. [/quote]Why's that? The ultimate real reason please.[/quote]

Misogyny.[/quote]

I disagree.  I don't believe they dislike, have contempt for, nor are prejudiced against women.

What I do think is the reason is about privilege and control.  Republicans and, in particular, Republican white men, want to maintain their privilege and be more special than others.  And they want to be in control and want women and minorities to do as they're told and to live by the rules that white men decide, e.g the glory days pre-1960 when that was the status quo.[/quote]

So they don’t have animosity toward women, they just don’t respect them.
I guess that’s … better. [/quote]I respect them and Im not a Democrat, liberal nor progressive.  How can you stereotype Republicans this way?[/quote]

They gleefully voted for a sexual predator who bragged about grabbing beauty queens by the p*ssy. They fought the equal rights amendment tooth and nail.

It’s not a stereotype, it’s the truth - Republicans don’t respect women as fully formed human beings capable of independent thought and worthy of equal protection before the law. [/quote]
On an individual basis, [b]there are Republicans who are good people,[/b] but as a single, collective entity, the Republican Party is a cancer on this country. They’ve shown us who they are. Believe them.[/quote]

I know you’re trying to be charitable, but you must have a wildly different opinion of what a “good person” is than I do. No one who is a proud Republican in 2024 and votes for Trump and his ilk is a good person. Period. [/quote]
I’ve come to believe this as well. There is no world in which someone votes for pain, oppression, fascism and fraud and can be called a good person. We’ve veered into “there were good Nazis too” territory. They all voted for that terror, people warned them too. Here the GOP wants to ban abortion and birth control nationwide so that women are yanked back a hundred years. I’m a SAHM, but I CHOSE to be one; the government did not compel me to do so.[/quote]
