Wtf Meghan Murphy

"Voting Democrat solely because they'll let you have an abortion while they allow all the rest of our sex-based rights to be destroyed seems unwise to me. Women need to take their bodily autonomy into their own hands imo — this means we need to learn about and educate other women about their bodies and reproductive system, so we aren't relying on the government to dole out hormonal birth control (which is HORRIBLE for us) and dictate our reproductive choices. It's far from an ideal situation, but I resent being told I must vote for a party that can't even define the word 'woman' because they'll allow women to have abortions. That gives me the icks and should give you the icks as well.

I don't believe we should be handing over our power to governments, and the more we understand about our own bodies, the power of food/herbal medicine, the less we need to rely on the state or the medical establishment to allow us bodily autonomy and pretend to be invested in our health and wellbeing."

I mean, much though I'd rather vote for an old white dude who is demonstrably mentally incapacitated over trump, I don't disagree with her on any of this.

Our reproductive and sex-based rights, choices and health should be in our hands, not those of any government. She's barking if she thinks Trump will advance and not regress women's rights though.

I wonder if she has changed her stance at all with last night's news?

OP were you misled then in the reasons for your previous admiration of her? She seems to me here to make several good points. I think one of the reasons we are in the mess we are all in, is the partisan nature of any opinion. Can you not disagree with her on this, and yet give her credit for the points on which you agree?

Is there much evidence that women voted farage or tory on the single issue basis of sex-based rights?

But women voted for Farage for the same reasons. They wanted to get rid off trans ideology and protect women's sex based rights. Even though austerity cast many women into poverty and made them a lot worse off, many 'feminists' voted Tory over this single issue. I don't understand why you're shocked it's happening in the States.

I feel for women in the US. What flavour of shit sandwich do you want? I can kind of see her point. Banning/restricting abortions is something that is more likely to inspire a pushback leading to a turn around. GI becoming even more embedded will be much harder to unpick.

Is this a full or partial analysis of the political landscape for American female voters? 🤔

She lives in Mexico.

Oh true! Good job the Americans don't have the same rule as the Canadians, that it's illegal to comment or try to influence the election from abroad...

Lordy. I'm betting the issue is that the Dems are totally in the tank for TRAs. I don't know when they're finally going to wake up and notice that all-TRA-all-the-time is anti-women, anti-gay, anti-anyone-discriminated-against-on-the-basis-of-sex.

So this is probably her way of being a single issue voter, since the Repubs are on the side of Stepford Wives and are anti-trans in the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons.

Good example of why single issue voting can be a Really Bad Idea.

If a rapist is the best choice, I'd emigrate.
