(22,139 posts)Women have fought for their rights and it seems some have forgotten that it was suich a short time ago that women didn't have so many fundamental rights they do today.
People don't seem to remember that women couldn't open bank accounts everywhere in the country until 1974. I was alive before that. Think about that, in the 1960s a woman couldn't control their own money without their husband signing for them. It was about control, still is. Abortion is about control too. Until Roe v Wade, an embryo was seen as the property of a man and a woman had no rights to their own body that superseeded a man's rights.
And that's what the GOP wants to go back to. They would take away women's rights to vote if they got the powert to do so. That's the America they want to go back to, where women were second class citizens subordinate in every way to men. Sick.
