29. As long as women can vote this election, we win it all
Thu Oct 10, 2024, 03:54 PM
Oct 2024

So many women had silently had miscarriages and know...holy crap if that happened now, I might die, be sterilized, etc. because of what they have done and it will only get worse.

When my wife had a miscarriage...we were devastated. When it didn't all pass within a couple of days. They scheduled a D&C on Friday so there was ZERO RISK of complications over the weekend. If it happened now, we would have had to wait until it was infected badly enough that her life was at immediate risk (minutes or hours, not days) before a doctor would touch her where we live now. If that means a hysterectomy, her death, whatever. Doesn't matter to the Republicans.

She is telling her story now.

If women know this could be them, their, sisters, their daughters, their grand daughter, niece, etc. they will not vote for any Republican for any office above local city council.
