You're up, ladies!

[Pantagruel]

It's no secret the women's "abortion " vote will be the swing factor in the Mid-Terms. So ladies, the future of democracy and the gains in suffrage over the last 100 years is coming down to whether you show up at the polls.
Do it.

1. So once again it's a "women's issue"? Who get women pregnant?

If a total ban is put in place, in cases of rape and incest 100% of the financial burden of raising the child (adopted or not) should be by the man committing the act, if the perpetrator can be identified. THEY should be made to feel shame, not the women who have already been victims.

MEN, don't you have some of the following in your life: mothers, sisters, daughters, female friends? Get involved.

2. Exactly.

It’s a equality and privacy issue for everyone.

[Pantagruel]

6. Of course men share responsibility

but it's the women's vote that logically will swing this thing.
Just the facts.

15. We think those are sad and disgusting facts.

What the hell is wrong with men?

9. Have 4 kids, there were 3 miscarriages. Can't imagine the shit we had to deal with if GOP gets way.

.

Miscarriages are all part of the pregnancy business.
Often it's natures way of ending something bad from occurring.

I can't believe the shit we would have to go through as a family dealing with both a miscarriage and the trauma from the American Taliban's/Vanilla ISIS/Y'all Qaeda abortion/miscarriage police scrutiny.

4. And listen to what the candidates are saying.

Not all female candidates are pro choice. Like one Kari Lake running for Arizona Governor. She's nothing but trouble.

[Samrob]

12. At least on the stump she isn't pro choice. nt

5. Did my part

And glad to do it!!

[HighFired49]

7. Welllll,

isn't that convenient? If Democrats lose elections you'll blame women for not voting??????? You might want to reconsider that BS.

[Pantagruel]

10. Relax

I'm simply pointing out what virtually every election analyst is insisting. If women feel unfairly burdened to swarm the polls it ain't my fault.
I've been championing women rights and civil rights for over 50 years , find another mule to beat.

14. I'm suspicious of these posts

And the “why aren’t Dems talking about Social Security” posts.
I expect if we lose there will be a whole lotta “we shouldn’t have focused on abortion.”

8. Is the fate of civil rights all on Black people's votes?

[Hekate]

11. I recommend that MEN consider the fate of democracy when civil rights are stripped from 51% ...

…of the American population in one fell swoop. Because this SCOTUS is doing nothing less.

Contraception is on the block — I hope you have been paying attention.

I recommend that MEN consider the high cost of living when it looks like marriage or cohabitation is going to mean a kid every year. MEN have come to depend on a second income in the family, and I am here to tell you that is going to be damn hard for women to achieve that if they can’t meaningfully control their fertility.

I recommend MEN start worrying about the cost of living as it relates to women’s reproductive rights — oh, I know you already do worry about the cost of living, but just not in those terms. Well, start doing so.

I recommend MEN start voting accordingly.

13. Cost of criminalizing abortion

seems to have no effect on the arguments. I've argued for years it would add hundreds of $BILLIONS yearly to household and national budgets but somehow the conversation never gets past the moral controversy.

Relatively new study n the issue:
