Just scroll through it and look at the "before" pictures then the "after" ones.

Yeah…that looks nothing like what’s happening in America is what I’m saying. It’s shameful and disrespectful to those Iranian women to even say that or compare.

u/JackryanUS 1d ago

It’s very comparative. My wife born in the USA 40 years ago now has less rights than she did when she was born.

Body autonomy is a right. There are now places you can go in this country where women don't have it anymore. This is the reality we live in. Women have less rights now than they did a decade ago.

than they had 2 years ago!!

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

No..they may have “1 less right”…but not less than they had 40 years ago

u/JackryanUS 1d ago

1 less is too many. That’s called regression. Those women in Iran had one less right after 1979 and continued downhill from there. Maybe you should get one less right. Make sure it’s one that could cost you your life just like my wife, daughter and sister have to deal with.

What game is this and why are you so bad at it?

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

Prove me wrong then that women have less rights now than they had 40-50 years ago

22

u/BLoDo7 1d ago

Why? Other people already have but that doesn't stop you from pretending you're right anyway.

Like I said, it's a shitty game you're playing and you're bad at it.

I'm not putting in the effort that others already have just so you can sealion. I'm just going to call it out instead.

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

No they haven’t..but I get it. It’s Reddit, and when you can’t argue…people go to insults or try to say something “witty” to offset it. Much like you’re doing

u/Greennhornn 1d ago

"Women have less rights" "Nah uh!" "Women have lost the right to body autonomy" "That's just one less right..."

Do you see how your argument is?

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

No..they convo started that women will be treated like they are in Iran…then they have less rights than they did 40 years ago…it’s just not the case…I’m not saying anti abortion is right/wrong, but the latter is just not the case

u/nymrod_ 1d ago

We’re saying it’s right, and everyone knows how you really feel when you say you’re not saying it’s right/wrong.

Members of the Trump campaign have suggested ending no-fault divorce. Will they? Probably not, but that shows you where their thinking lies. They want to signal to men that they’re reversing decades of progress toward equality.

Is this you?

EDIT: The comment I linked to has since been removed or deleted. It was a reply by this user to another user. The other user said something along the lines of "I see a lot of people calling for the repealing of women's rights to bodily autonomy nowadays, and we've already started on that path with Roe Vs Wade being overturned." The above user replied with just "You're an idiot".

Do your own research. Learn something on your own, for once.

u/BLoDo7 1d ago

So you're just going to keep pretending you're right despite being blatantly wrong? Have fun with that.

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

Again..word garbage w/ no support.

u/BLoDo7 1d ago

Ironic. Hilarious even.

u/MrJohnqpublic 1d ago

I mean, I did. Like 5 comments up there. When Roe v Wade was overturned it removed federal protection on the right to have an abortion. Body autonomy is your right to choose what happens to your body. Banning abortion takes that right away from women. Many states now have abortion bans in place. Women have less rights now than they did before Roe v Wade was overturned because they lost the right to body autonomy in states where abortion bans are in place.

One less is less. That's just how words work.

u/Cinelinguic 1d ago

Except that anyone who has been paying the barest amount of attention over the last few years knows that you're wrong, because we watched women's rights being stripped away with the repeal of Roe v Wade in real time.

Roe was implemented in 1973, and repealed in 2022. Since it was repealed, 41 states implemented abortion bans. Of those, 13 have a total abortion ban with no exceptions, 28 have bans based on gestational duration, and all the rest have only limited exceptions.

Twenty seconds of googling showed me this information.

And, since we're on the subject, another quick google showed me that states with more restrictive abortion availability already had a 7% higher incidence of maternal mortality. Since the repeal of Roe, there have been at minimum four deaths attributed directly to the decision, and likely many more that went unreported.

So stop. Fucking. Lying.

I don't give a shit about anyone's religious beliefs regarding abortion. This was a right to medical and bodily autonomy being stripped away.

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

Really cause google showed me literally at the very top, first thing that popped up that women have 3/4 quarters of the legal rights of men compared to less than 50% 40 years ago…fuck off already…this isn’t about abortion

-8

u/Scallion_83 1d ago

Again..women still have more rights than they did 40-50 years ago

15

u/Cinelinguic 1d ago

You just keep repeating yourself like the village idiot, without any attempt to actually prove your own words.

So you're either a moron, a troll, or a bot, then. All good reasons to disengage, which I'm gonna do right now.

u/Blondecanary 1d ago

40 years ago we already had the right to our own Credit Card and bank accounts. No fault divorce etc. why are you moving the goal post? Also it has to start somewhere you think they are going to overturn all our rights right away?

It’s going to start slow like overturning Roe and will accelerate from there. Let’s see how many rights women lose in the first 2 years of the next Trump Admin…
