If I could turn back timeIf I could find a way
Well that is what the Republicans want to do, turn back time to the 1950! It is like the Handmaid's Tale is the Republican's goal! You think I exaggerate?
CBS NewsBy Kaia HubbardOctober 31, 2024Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday at a campaign rally that "whether the women like it or not," he will "protect" them, noting that his advisers had instructed him not to use the line, which he said they deemed "inappropriate."[…]The former president then described how he would "protect" women, though he noted that his team had urged him against using the line."My people told me about four weeks ago, I would say 'no, I want to protect the people. I want to protect the women of our country. I want to protect the women,'" Trump said, describing how his advisers said it would be "very inappropriate for you to say.""I said, 'Well, I'm going to do it, whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them,'" Trump said.
His misogyny is showing through! But it doesn’t end there, NOW wrote that,
Posted on July 12, 2024 By KimRepublicans have renewed their efforts to attack civil rights and American liberties, and now they are eyeing no-fault divorce. Conservatives have begun engaging in concerning rhetoric around no-fault divorce, arguing that it is unconstitutional or against the Christian conception of marriage. Should challenges to no-fault divorce become mainstream, efforts to combat violence against women will face extreme setbacks.[…]Some Republican lawmakers and politicians have begun criticizing no-fault divorce, arguing that it is too easy for people to obtain a divorce. According to the Guardian⁵, right-wing religious conservatives claim that contemporary divorce laws “deprive [men] of due process and hurt families.” The Texas Republican Party 2022 Platform, for example, expressed a desire to “rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws and support covenant marriage,” directly threatening no-fault divorce¹. Ohio Republican Senate nominee J.D. Vance described how no-fault divorce makes it “easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear.”⁶ Beverly Willet, co-chair of the Coalition For Divorce Reform claimed, “unilateral no-fault divorce clearly violates the 14th Amendment. Too often in family court, defendants are deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process of law.”⁷ Contributors to the draconian Project 2025 have also expressed interest in ending no-fault divorce⁸, a concerning development as they lay out policy agendas for a potential Republican presidential victory in the 2024 General Elections. All of these perspectives represent dangerous conservative ideologies that pose a threat to individual freedom and the rights of women.
They want to bring back the era where women were trapped in marriage, Time writes,
What many conservatives want is a return to the “fault divorce” legal system, in which marriage was fundamentally binding unless one spouse — and only one — violated anything on a list of “faults” articulated by states in hodgepodge fashion. Judges had the power to deny divorces for multiple reasons, leaving people who wanted no part of marriage stuck together.Yet, modern conservatives don’t just want to resurrect this system — they want to make it even worse. The fault divorce system assumed men to be breadwinners who were required to continue providing support for their wives if they were at fault for the divorce. It was a part of a social contract in which wives had to provide household labor, ranging from childcare to sex, in exchange for financial security (which after a divorce meant alimony).
The Republican party is all about domination! They want women to be pregnant, in the kitchen, and barefoot! They want to criminalize us just like pre-Stonewall! We had to have three items of male clothing on, Just look at Dewey’s Lunch Counter (1965), Compton Cafeteria (1966), Black Cat (1967) [If you don’t what they are… google them!]. Marriage is only between a man and a women. That is what they want to bring back!
And it continues…
More women are facing challenges to filling their prescriptions for contraceptives like IUDs.NBC NewsBy Yasmine Salam, Kaitlin Sullivan and Dasha BurnsNovember 1, 2024Millions of Americans will be able to vote on November ballots whether to protect access to contraception.In states where tensions have long boiled over reproductive rights, family planning experts say women face mounting barriers to getting birth control. The fear, confusion and anxiety over abortion has extended to their ability to prevent a pregnancy.In June, Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have enshrined a national right to birth control into law. States have been left to decide if they will protect access to birth control.
Notice that they are all men who are voting on women's bodies! It was a Republican who said, "Missouri Republican Senate nominee Todd Akin got himself in hot water by suggesting that “legitimate rape” rarely led to pregnancy, he insisted that doctors backed up his position."
"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity... The Outer Limits."
That is the Republican goal, complete control of our bodies!
NBC News goes on to say,
The votes come at a time when some women are finding it increasingly challenging to fill their prescriptions for birth control. Access to low-cost contraceptives, including IUDs, the pill and patches, was under pressure in the South and rural areas even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. That decision created new barriers, experts say.An estimated 19 million women of reproductive age are now living in so-called contraceptive deserts, counties where people have trouble accessing a range of birth control options, according to data from the reproductive rights nonprofit Power to Decide.
Our bodies, their control!
Repeat after me…
My body, my choice!
My body, my choice!
My body, my choice!
And in Connecticut vote “Yes” on the ballot question on Absentee Ballots don’t believe the Republican “Big Lie” on voter fraud.
Oh, speaking about turning back the hands of time... did you set your clocks back an hour to Standard Time?
