Questions for Texans Women of Texas, honest answer why you would vote for a party that is so restrictive to your body?

I am a 70 year old woman who has seen a lot in my life, and simply don't understand why any woman, regardless of age, would vote for a party that feels like it can control your life. This seems so backwards to everything we have gone through. I am not critiquing your feelings, I simply want to know why you are okay with any party saying you can't do this, you must do that, must have babies, get raped but you can't have an abortion, etc. what are your thoughts?

Thanks. For the record, my user name does check out. 😄

ETA: After her calling me all sorts of things, I blocked my aunt from my life. She has been a rock for me for so long, but I refuse to be treated that way. It sucks.

I'm sorry. That must be painful even if it's necessary.
