Please invest in yourself and vote. If you have not already.
Actually, just vote. If you feel so compelled to vote republican, do it. I cannot understand why you would want to do this, but I will respect the amount of people who get the vote out. At least, I know you are vested in your rights.
On the other hand, of course, I am supporting women's rights. I want control over my body, my healthcare decisions, my finances. I have worked (my entire life) to enable what I want in my life. My parents divorced when I was 12. My dad was supposed to pay for 2/3 medical of myself and my three sisters. I had glasses at a young age. When I wanted contacts *at age 13* my mom wouldn't pay her third of acquiring that purchase.
I babysat, cleaned Schwan's trucks and ironed for neighbors to secure the portion of the contacts. I wanted contacts so I could participate in basketball, volleyball and softball. Since then, I have taken care of myself. Paying for my first car at 16. A junker and automatic but I managed to do it myself.
I paid for insurance. I figured out how to pay for college, housing, insurance. Always taking care of myself and not relying on my dad or men.
Do not feel guilty for voting for your interests.
I saw this insane clip from a dipshit (I refuse to mention his name. IYKYK...and YK). Think small-minded podcaster. Thinks he is smart. Overqualified man.
This idiot felt betrayed that a woman would vote for her healthcare, her body, her finances. He felt betrayed that she would allow her husband to believe otherwise
There are so many women that have died after the Dobbs decision due to lack of healthcare. Due to physicians being scared of treating women. The ramifications they would receive if they helped a woman move forward with taking care of herself.
Do not be afraid. Vote for yourself, your interests, your rights. Refuse to believe that we should return to the 1890's. The Patriarchy refuses to acknowledge how much women have added to the workforce. They want you to think you don't deserve equality or rights.
STOP BELIEVING THEIR NONSENSE.
vote for you. Vote for your interests. Vote for autonomy.
