Women, your vote is being taken away (SAVE Act)

LADIES! CAN YOU HEAR ME⁉️Call your Senators NOW and everyday until they vote on the SAVE Act. (202) 224-3121

The House passed this bill which restricts a woman's right to vote.

Say it loud! WE WON’T GO BACK‼️

I'm not sure this would pass muster with Roberts and Barrett, corrupt as they are, this is likely a bridge too far. I hope, anyway.

I'm not saying don't contact your Senators, not by any stretch, by all means do that as well!!!

But this HAS TO be unconstitutional, damn it!!!

Next, it would be a violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments' Equal Protection Clause(s).

Next, married women would have the ability to change back to their maiden names and prospective brides would keep their birth names.
