Why? She helped cause this problem, now she wants to act like she hasn’t been part of the problem for YEARS? She voted for this with Bush, Romney, McCain, who knows how far back, she doesn’t look that young. Now she wants to act like it’s a problem? She should have thought about this LONG before trump instead expecting other people to do the work for her.

[@rhodawatkins4516]

​@TheBLGL We and she didn't know what awful things the Republicans were planning and would actually do when given the opportunity until trump came along and made it happen. No one thought they would actually overturn an established law like Roe. Our country has spent its entire existence going forward, making progress, and improving. Now, all of a sudden, they want to reverse course with women's reproductive rights, with marriage rights, with LGBTQ+ rights, and anything else they can manage, to put more control back in the hands of old white Christian authoritarian men. I'm well past reproductive age, but I don't want to see this miserable future of subjugation for our young women and girls. Women need to vote BLUE, until the Republicans understand they are on the wrong path.
