Women should be equal to men.

Women should be barefoot, pregnant, and silent.

"The vast majority of House Republicans just voted to take away women's right to travel, to access contraception and to marry who they love.".

I know the bill was set up as a trap but why would they fall for it? Do their donors really desire a return to a time of subjugated sexism?
How would they benefit from a country of Stepford wives?

What bill is this.

@Fukfacewillie Right to Contraception Act: The House passed H.R. 8373, to protect a person's ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception, by a yea-and-nay vote of 228 yeas to 195 nays with two answering ``present'', Roll No. 385.
Pages H6927–40

That's one of them. The confessional record is not easy to wade through.

Respect for Marriage Act

This bill provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages.

Specifically, the bill repeals and replaces provisions that define, for purposes of federal law, marriage as between a man and a woman and spouse as a person of the opposite sex with provisions that recognize any marriage that is valid under state law. (The Supreme Court held that the current provisions were unconstitutional in United States v. Windsor in 2013.)

The bill also repeals and replaces provisions that do not require states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states with provisions that prohibit the denial of full faith and credit or any right or claim relating to out-of-state marriages on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin. (The Supreme Court held that state laws barring same-sex marriages were unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015; the Court held that state laws barring interracial marriages were unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia in 1967.) The bill allows the Department of Justice to bring a civil action and establishes a private right of action for violations.

@Tastyfrzz That’s the one to protect contraception, but what is the one to take it away?

@Fukfacewillie not sure there is one but if they don't vote for it they are effectively voting against it in the court of public opinion.

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@Tastyfrzz Not really. Voting against the bill and it losing wouldn’t make contraception illegal, but I understand your point.

And they are in safe red districts so no real cost.
