    Not sure I even understand the purpose of the protest.



    Well, I understand it........but it doesn't make sense.



    The Immigrant day made sense because, due to there being a push to get illegal immigrants out.......they wanted to show what it would be like if they weren't here.



    However, I haven't heard anything about there being a movement to push women out.......so it's hard for me to really understand why they're protesting.

    That's what I figured.



    Just feelings more than anything.



    Don't understand why my tax dollars should be used to pay for somebody else's birth control.



    If anything, they need to get at the 51% of white women who voted for Trump despite his comments.

    They don't wanna talk about that though.

    It's also about how women are paid less than men or not considered for top jobs. Women strike to show business will not be able to run to the same level without them.

    Your argument about where your tax money should go is short sighted.

    They gonna take your tax money anyway so why not let it go to free birth control? If you ever find a woman willin to put up with you and spend your life with... U too will be needing birth control. Also your tax money is already paying all these politicians in DC mught as well go toward something that can help u down the line.

    And im a firm supporter of Planned Parenthood. I myself purchused a couple abortions from there in my time.

    Good point.




    If these women have kids they can't support on their own, then..........over time............ more of my tax dollars would be spent on her and her kids than on her birth control




    So, it's definitely cheaper to put them on birth control rather than have them create an even larger tax burden by having kids they can't afford.

    Providing affordable and accessible birth control to ALL women would save us all money in the long run, and help prevent unwanted childen from being aborted or birthed and then mistreated.

    But keep on with that line of thinking.

    sigh

    it's international women's day

    and many women around the world are still treated like second class citizens



    here in america, specifically, many women are going to be negatively impacted by the defunding of planned parenthood.... especially the poor and women of color who depend on planned parenthood for health services, such as cancer screenings, prenatal services, and birth control, they couldn't afford otherwise

    a little off topic, but just fyi a significant number of women take birth control for reasons other than the prevention of an unwanted pregnancy...

    america is the only advanced economy that doesn't mandate paid sick or paternity/maternity leave for its workers, which disproportionately impacts women...especially women of color

    females make up a disproportionate amount of the poor here and around the world

    all over the country women's reproductive rights are being stripped away though women have a constitutional right to abortion


    but you have no interest in having a real discussion, you just like the attention... I see you
