Has it seemed lately that more laws are giving the LGBT community more rights and taking away our hampering women's rights ?

Forgive any discriminatory over tones this may imply that's not my intention. The hate crime laws should cover everything. I'm not pro abortion. But I'm pro choice. I took an oath when I joined the armed forces. I've retired my career but not the oath to defend the constitution. It was written a bit ambiguous to allow the flexibility to adapt to time.
If football players take a knee during the nation's anthem to get attention for an enquity the feel strong about Its their right to a peaceful protest(most people watching are having a beer or going to the can because it's like last call, the game is going to start after the fat girl sings.
If a woman of sane mind finds herself needing to abort a rape pregnancy or incest,medical or severe and profound deformities or what ever should politicians from far away make her unheard case more difficult. Nor should zealots harass, threaten or impede her constitutional right. I'm getting long winded. Thoughts?

As a woman sharing my life with a woman, we make no attempt to participate or avail ourselves of any laws or amendment to laws granted exclusively to the LGBTWXYDSWEFCFRTHYUIJHG (or whatever there are , now) community. There should only be laws for men and women, not laws for those who choose sexual proclivity as a way of life. We, ourselves, have always been content to live within the traditional and long-established moral framework of the law and have never felt discriminated by it or through it. Perhaps, it is because we see no value whatsoever in laws which support sexual proclivity.

@jenni88 You said that better than I.All deserve fair and complete protection under the law. It's just human I guess. Some of the ones that first came to America have religious freedomn,burned others at the stake for not believing in their way. And anti abortion groups are all religiously motivated. So ,they say ,in the name of God someone is a sinner and should be denied for choosing a medical procedure. Like a Taliban .

@jenni88 that's what I'm leading to here. One hate crime law for everyone's protection. So shouldn't women that have come to no better conclusion be protected from the hatred of the ones that disagree with her decision as much as the ones that are protected from those that disagree with their same sex decisions?

@RippinKlouds You know you are right. They haven't taken away any rights. They've just made then harder to take advantage of, e.g., raising requirements for women's health clinics to the point that most had to close. And the screening process to a degree that it's humiliating for the woman to even seek reproductive health care, not that she probably didn't already feel bad enough being pregnant from a rape crime or incest crime. Or if carrying to term is life threatening,often to both.
I Ann taking as a citizen of Texas here. I asked the question to hear if maybe other states did not do all they could to make it harder for a U.S.citizen to seek medical help or advice that's a guaranteed right constitutionally. I'm not pro abortion but I am pro choice. May sound contradictory to you, but, all I'm saying is that part is between her and her conscience and her God . Actually it should just be up to her. Without political or theological interference. The political( state)part had been decided by the roe vs wade case. The floor is yours sir.
