I have never seen women in my locality so angry.. and I mean all women

[Peacetrain]

many self proclaimed Republicans (though I admit they seem more sane than what I see online saying they are republicans )..but wow I would not be the least bit surprised if Liz Cheney kept her seat, if the women in Wyoming are as hot as hell as many in Iowa are.. I know we are months away..but I am seeing as of this moment in time a real shift in the mood at Church and other areas .. wait and see.. but keep the pressure up folks.. the Republican Court may have shot itself in the proverbial foot.. just the mention of possibly taking away the right to contraception's.. holy moley.. pitchforks and ax handles will come out from a lot of Moms.. lots and lots of worry and talk about our daughters being cut off from medical needs..

[NoRethugFriends]

1. It would be great if it were all women,

but at least 40% of them would still vote for Trump

[birdographer]

9. Absolutely

A cult is a cult. They love belonging, being part of something, no matter how stupid or self-destructive it is. Given that they fell for it in the first place, we can assume those women are not terribly bright.

[NullTuples]

11. Some are very intelligent; that has no effect on needing connection & privilege

Racism & Christianity are very hierarchy based; for some people knowing their spot in the pecking order is security. So they buy into anything that serves to protect and enforce it. The abortion prohibition on the other hand negatively affects them and their families directly, so it's different.

[RayStar]

26. Oh no

I hope this is a wake-up call for all women. We must get control of congress. I don't want to lose any more of our rights. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT we must!

[Marius25]

2. Do they blame it on Republicans?

[barbtries]

19. that's a really good question.

because that's who did this to us. my mission now is just to drive home the point, but it is rather lonely. a friend posted today that both sides are the same (essentially). I know she's liberal and it just kind of enraged me. No they are not! omigawd

[LymphocyteLover]

33. OMG, so depressing that liberals still say that crap

Ugh. It really can't be hammered home enough how deranged, extreme, criminal and corrupt the GOP is.

[Wounded Bear]

46. Maybe you should ask her...If both sides are the same, why is she a liberal?

[barbtries]

47. maybe I should.

that's not precisely what her post said, but the gist. I've been thinking about how I might respond. though I post political stuff on fb regularly, i basically do not engage in dialogue beyond a brief comment.

maybe i will.

[Wounded Bear]

48. Discussing politics on line can be dicey, TBS...

not offering advice, just a comment from a friend.

3. History shows religious fanatics typically overreach, often resulting in violent blowback.

[Hortensis]

5. Yes. And we've NEVER been the people and country extremists want.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Behavior will continue to be behavior despite what SCOTUS says

Few if any will keep their pants on because of feared consequences, contrary to what the Religious Right will tell you. A wave of pregnancies should ensue. No wonder parents are worried. What did the RW Loonies expect? A switch to abstinence, morality, chastity, and other types of fulfillment?

[ebbie15644]

6. why would they vote for Cheney then?

I mean seriously, she has said she supports the Supreme court overturning Roe

[geardaddy]

7. This

[PatSeg]

8. Yeah, I was going to ask the same thing

[jaxexpat]

10. Real good point! The St. Elizabeth movement is not founded from a plethora of evidence.

She's doing a wonderful service, ensuring a secure burial of Trump, but she's still her father's daughter. Soon enough, we'll see the "rational" Republicans (don't believe those two words actually belong together) flock to her as their "high plains messiah", creating the next iteration of American "conservatism".

[AnrothElf]

20. I just moved (back) to Wyoming...

I will hold my nose and register republican to vote for (ugh) Cheney in the primary, because the Dem candidate has zero chance of winning. Lesser evil.

But in the general I will vote Dem as I always have.

[ebbie15644]

37. This I get but to vote for her in the general I wouldn't get

[FakeNoose]

23. It used to be that the old-time GOP - before the "religious right" came butting in -

... hated the Roe ruling but it wasn't because they had religious scruples. They opposed abortion when poor folks got their abortions paid for by Medicaid. The old-time Repukes didn't want the government paying for abortions and other "family planning" because it would make THEIR taxes go up.

If a woman got an abortion and paid for it herself, well they were fine with that. That was the only reason - Jesus had nothing to do with it. Liz Cheney is an old-time Repuke and she doesn't want poor people getting free stuff from Uncle Sam. Whether her supporters understand the distinction or not, I don't know.

[JohnSJ]

24. There are three Democrats running in her district. The only justification to vote for her would

only be in the republican primary, to block a trumper from being the republican candidate.

In the general election though, absolutely no way would someone who is truely pro-choice vote for her

[ebbie15644]

38. 👍

[ebbie15644]

41. That's good, because if dems are thinking she's on our side

they couldn't be more wrong

[JohnSJ]

42. She is hard core right wing. Only thing that distinguishes her from what is now the republican

party is she believes in the Constitution over party

[oldsoftie]

50. That seat has no chance of going Dem; DUMP TRUMPERS

[Mr.Bill]

40. Because the person running against her in the primary

probably supports the court overturning Roe v Wade and also supports Donald Trump.

[ebbie15644]

43. The point, I believed,

Of this post was that women were upset about Roe V Wade being overturned and thats why they are mad at Cheney's primary opponent. Cheney is glad Roe V Wade was overturned

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Every husband knows, happy wife, happy life

But the right wing side of SCOTUS will have to learn it. Hopefully we can help teach it to them.

[Turbineguy]

13. Republicans tend to overplay.

There may be hope here.

[Upthevibe]

14. Peacetrain..

Thank you for this post....

[Marthe48]

15. My anger supercedes my sadness

I can't stop feeling angry. Not sad, not astonished, just angry.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Yup, we old gals are not going back and young women will not stand for it.

[Demovictory9]

17. Yep

[Peacetrain]

29. Amen to that!!!!

[Traildogbob]

18. Good to hear

Some one mentioned yesterday, I did not think of, but many moms that are not thinking about more kids but have daughters, They are PISSED. Momma bears hate their daughters being attacked. That could switch them and in turn THEY will get those daughters out in the fight. Let em keep talking about birth control on the line! Lots of college females AND males have skin in that game. Oh damn, “Birth Control” just began having a whole different meaning. “Others” CONTROLLING BIRTH!. I would wish ya HAPPY FORTH but the Supremacy Court stuck a fork in this day of celebration. We may need to change the date until November Election Day If Dems, and all pissed off Americans do what they need to do. We can however look at this 4th as a wake up call that it can all be gone in a few months. Take back our flag and our country. Be safe. Thanks for the positive post. Much needed after yesterday.

[BlueSky3]

27. And where are the dads in all this?

We keep hearing how angry women (of course) are and men seem to be left out of the story. We going to need EVERYONE to vote blue, including republican and independent men who care about women.

[Traildogbob]

34. I am

The only surviving parent of my 32 year old daughter. We lost her mom when she was only 10. You can damn sure believe this dad is furious at all the hell the GQP is bringing down. We are pretty much alone, my family are GQP Christian’s. Her moms family are GQP Christian’s that stole from my daughter following her moms death for years, still in church and loving their God. So it’s her and me. I only speak for me, but I will fight like hell for her. To any extreme. Pretty sure there are millions of dads that will lay down life for their daughters. Can’t comprehend those that would not.

[dianaredwing]

44. so many of these posts

leave most men out of the equation. Most men are not rapists. However, unwanted pregnancies happen. What about consensual sex (is that still a thing?) and shot gun weddings where young men and women who had a sexual fling are forced into marriage because they are from 'decent' families? I know that I didn't want to spend my life with some of the men I had sex with but if a child had been involved the outcome may have been different. Those young men need to be just as much pro Roe v Wade as young women.

This is not even to mention all the ancillary benefits of birth control and sexual health such as reduction in STDs, sexual education. distribution of condoms, and reproductive care, all of which are somewhat the result of access to birth control.

[Demsrule86]

22. Guys...we are not months away...early voting begins in Ohio next week and other places too...

It is over by August.

[Peacetrain]

31. Dems... I am hoping your schedule is right because I think it works in our favor

and it was the Contraception threat that seemed to tip the scales with more conservative local women.. I do not know what it is like in other places.. I can only speak to my little part of the world.. but if we stay on this.. and keep it in front of the news....

[Demsrule86]

35. It is the same here...my daughter's third party friend will vote for straight Democrtic ticket here.

And the GOP on my block (woman) is voting straight Democratic ticket this time...even for the Governor.

[JohnSJ]

25. If this is more then anectodal, then we should see Democrats do better than the soothsayers are

predicting in November

[NBachers]

28. More white babies for the Thousand Year Reich

[H2O Man]

30. Recommended.

Here in rural upstate New York, about 50% of female republicans see angry about Roe, as opposed to their normal unfocused anger. And all normal females are.

[machoneman]

32. I do hope many R women have had it with the SC's rulings of late. And I hope they vote out....

their R representatives in November to show there dislikes. Hope springs eternal as they say........

[Magoo48]

36. Now, if they can organize like the Icelandic women's strike of 1975 did, and sustain it. Wow.

The percentages could never be as high due religious beliefs, but it could be quite impressive.

[twodogsbarking]

39. I don't believe just a political movement. It goes beyond that.

The Republicans are the host for parasites of many kinds.

49. My wife says , based on Facebook posts, many women support the overturning

51. Isn't cheney in favor of forced births?

[TeamProg]

52. We all hope that you are right. n/t

53. Well, I'm angry
