Conservatives will use whatever excuse is available to try to strip women of their rights. I think it’s lazy to shrug this issue off as just another way for conservatives to exert control even if there’s some truth to it. Because when you assert that the reason so many people are invested in this is because of bad actors, you’re ignoring the very real women and allies that are shouting from the roof tops about the issues with women’s healthcare.
Why not wrangle this topic to push the conversation about improving health outcomes for women instead of telling others to be quiet because conservatives might use our concerns to subjugate us?
I have never said this and I would appreciate it if you didn't put words into my mouth. My statement was in regards towards how people have chosen to act in solidarity towards Clancy.
Obviously a lot of these acts have been used against you but more importantly they haven't done anything to shine a light on these issues either. Posting videos on socials pretending to abuse your children in support of her doesn't shine a light on these issues or even show that they exist.
There's a reason I edited my post and left it at that. I'm not really sure you get what I'm saying and it's fine. I support the cause and I appreciate the heightened awareness you've given myself and anyone else that reads the comment chain on the issues.
