(97,637 posts)49. Stand up for Women!
In Texas and the entire effing world!
What the hell is wrong with people! What is so warped in the GOP's mind.
Women are living breathing beings. We have a heart , soul, feelings and God bless us brains! We walk, we talk and we have feelings that run deeper than the GOP's souls. Do they really believe that they own us?
They take away our rights for health care. Basic health care.
I know many men support this too. They have wives, daughters, mothers and grandmothers that they hold dear. Why does the majority of the GOP not care. What do they say to their wives and daughters at the end of the day.
This is wrong! So very wrong.
Thank you DI for this sad Op that must be seen and heard!

Yes, at that level of government. At the top levels of government, the difference becomes ephemeral

Women's rights were the only reason I voted for Obama in 2012, but it just isn't enough anymore.
