Have democrats largely given up on protecting a woman's right to choose?

89. Yes. I am also very distressed by this phenomenon, and I think many other DU women are as well.

I have always felt that anyone who is so ignorantly RW that they advocate to deny women our individual and collective choices about what to do with our own bodies should be banned from DU for expressing that opinion.

If this keeps up, DU may soon become an overwhelmingly male majority site, except for some "internet women", and the very few anti-choice women who make up the extreme right of the Dem party. We've already lost many lesbian members since 2008.

I'm LGBT, and I agree with you that women are on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to having our rights as human beings recognized, and sincerely and fully acknowledged and respected. Trust me, LGBT still get dissed here all too often, but the tolerance for women getting dissed is somewhat more.

I'm gone beyond done being treated like a second class human because I'm female; I don't want to be around anyone, anywhere, who feels free to treat me that way anymore. In my daily life, I do everything I can to limit my contact with RWers who just naturally believe that women are second class citizens, and that's the way it has always been, and the way it should be. I really don't want to have to deal with them here, and if the anti-choice trolls are permitted to have free rein to insult us by insisting that they know what is best for us, and that they should have the right to determine what women can do with their own bodies, I'm outta here. I don't want to be subject to having authoritarian RW religion shoved down my throat here, or anywhere else.

It makes me very sad to see the idea that women are second class citizens incubating and proliferating, being reinforced and promoted once again, especially here, at what I believe the Democrats here feel should be a stalwart liberal bastion of equal human rights, and democratic rights free from the control of religion.

The right wing appears to have infiltrated, and successfully infected, DU with the deadly conservative troll retrovirus. Maybe this disease can be quarantined, and a cure found soon.
