We Need Democrats to fight for Women

At the same time that many Republicans are saying that maybe women shouldn't have the right to vote at all.
At a time when many Republicans are saying that raping a child isn't so bad.
We now have a Democratic thought leader in our Party saying that women shouldn't run for president...at least that is exactly how it will be repeated across the Internet and by political talking heads.

Many states are looking at more and more strict abortion restrictions and even looking to limit the ability of women to travel freely.

We need politicians to stand tall and defend the rights of women with their whole chest.

This needs to be a hill we are willing to die on. Go to war over if we must. There can be no compromises. No pragmatism. No quarter.
Women are a majority of our society and we are allowing Republicans to chop away at their rights, their dignity and their humanity. No more.
If we are not willing to draw a line here and say "no" then who are we as a political party?

I heard JD Vance say in a debate that only the “head of the household” should vote for the whole family and only couples with children should be allowed to vote. This is scary stuff.
