This week in the war against women

It would be difficult to make the Republican list worse by choosing a vice president, but TFG did it with JD Vance, an opportunist who stopped calling TFG “Hitler” and instead shamelessly kissed his ass. Among other things:

• Vance is not only against freedom of choice, he supports Women pursue cross state borders to have an abortion.
• He is strangely obsessed with demanding that other people have children and has even suggested that people without biological children lower voting rights than the parents.
• He is against divorce without blameand has suggested that it is somehow better for children to live in a household with domestic violence than for victims who can leave. (Would someone care to tell him about TFG’s two divorces?)
• He now complains that the country is being destroyed by “childless female cats.“ (Again, WHY this fixation on other people’s reproductive choices???)

As always, this diary is a group effort. Thanks to Ramara, Mettle Fatigue, Elenacarlena, Angmar and the WOW crew for links and discussions.
