of the overturning of abortion is that it shows that soon they will come after MY rights."

I saw a few in the last few weeks saying, "If Democrats don't win it will be women's fault. It means they don't think abortion is a big deal." Or "The results of this election will tell us how important abortion is to women." Or "Women are too lazy to get out and vote for their rights."

We are STILL not thought of as actual human beings by MANY men.
