(34,312 posts)41. You mean that we ALL,
men and women, will all go down as opposed to just women going down? I get it now. Really?

I had an illegal abortion. You have no idea unless you have been there as a young woman. It had to be very secret in a very awful place. Alone with a doctor you do not know who will not be there to help you if something goes wrong. Just wait for what is next. They are already trying to give rapists a say over women.

You're really sure of all this? Is the 2016 Platform still in effect? Not abrogated?

If you live in a ultra-red state, they can take away your rep rights. You are held hostage.

Anyone who echoes the Republican Platform, like on "culture war" issues, isn't a Democrat.
