    The swing toward Trump in swing states was half of what it was in the rest of the country. The Harris campaign did a h--- of a job, just not the right political environment.

    Whoever told Biden not to go as Myers for Halloween, made them lose the elections.

    I’ll give her campaign credit where it’s due. Harris did a strong job mobilizing concerned women, successfully convincing them that their rights were on the line. She effectively framed the shift of abortion decisions to the states as “a total loss of rights for women if Trump wins.” and now women everywhere are in concerning state of panic.

    Some women have started a “sex strike,” because “men voted against them". A nationwide women sex strike could do real damage.. Also I'm not sure its the best move if their rights were actually being debated. I hope she takes steps to ease these fears and work toward bridging the gender divisions her campaign has caused.

    fascinating. i learn sumn new about this place every day. though im still no closer to figuring out why sl needed to close at the same time as tr. but maybe it’s better if i don’t ask 2 many questions. i look forward to the next chapter of forum fiction and the future of rb. thank you for continuing to always offer us thoughtful, meaningful conversation in an age of status updates and sound bytes

    It was a loss of women’s rights. Women use to have access to abortion regardless of the state they lived in.

    Well speaking of "women" rights.. Trump just took them back even further by appointing the first women chief of staff. He's also already meeting with Putin to end the war. I think we may actually get tired of winning for real this time if he keeps this up.

    States decide. You want to get rid of EC but have an issue with majority rules at State level? Also the abortion amendment in Florida pushed for late term which is no longer just the womens right considering the development. Yet everyone called it a ban and people believed it, we rejected it .. but abortion still remains widely accessible in Florida. Where did women lose rights?

    Seems odd to call murdering your own baby a right but I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.

    Yea the whole abortion thing is getting out of control. Killing a baby 2 weeks before it’s born is not ok.

    Yes, I have an issue with leaving women’s rights up to the states. Same way Americans had an issue leaving slavery up to the states; or leaving African-American civil rights up to the states; or gay rights up the states; etc.

    Some men really have no idea why abortion is important to women. They aren’t just doing it for the h--- of it. Lmfao

    many of these women can not support a child, have no resources to childcare, have mental and financial instability. Also it cost money and is a long process to put a kid up for adoption. And low class and homeless aren’t even allowed to do it in some states due to classism
    And a large percentage weren’t even given the choice due to r---. Men just don’t know, cuz they don’t have to be responsible for a child. Most men don’t even stay, they high tail out of there as soon as they hear thier girl is pregnant

    This isn't the 1800s my guy. What exactly is the issue you have with leaving it to states, besides some not agreeing with you? Are you implying slavery is coming back? Stop living in fear and chill out. Honestly you should really consider joining MAGA.. I've known people with worse TDS than you come over and it was the best decision they ever made.

    I don’t think a woman’s right to receive medical care should be dictated by what state she lives in. It’s just incredibly dumb.

    Additionally, “leaving it to the states” has enable certain states to criminalize women who do decide to go out of their respective states to get an abortion. So how is this merely a states issue?

    I'm all for exceptions. I really don't have any issue at all until they pushed it late term.. Who are you to tell me about why its important to women though? Didn't know you were a chick so my bad if so but you're wrong. Some are doing it for the h--- of it and people arent against it for the h--- of it either. Men and women both have issues and it has nothing to with trying trying to control their uterus. Keep running on this though and your desire to "protect women rights" .. That starts at the border smart guy, or girl.
