(1,850 posts)We women will vote!
We've marched in DC many times over the years, but we understand voting is critical.
The young and the old, and all in between, We will

They ignored us when they enacted abortion banns. They didn't count us in Kansas, when they were forced to put abortion rights on the ballot, and women turned out to protect themselves. They didn't consider or poll us to find out how important this issue is to the majority of women, and many men too. They'll find out, or it looks like they're just finding this out and are shocked. I hope it's a rude awakening for them.
I am woman, Hear me Roar (that Helen Ready song has been playing in my head)

We will get those kick-ass results early (as opposed to numerous races that might be close, challenged, recounted, waiting for mail in ballots, forced a run off, etc.)
