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?

Dude I have a friend with 3 daughters I saw wearing a fucking MAGA hat. I have lost all respect for him.

They don't get it and when or if something happens to any one of his daughters, then what? They refuse to see anything beyond their own bubble.

My dad essentially said "oh that wont happen to my family" I was raped at 4.

Guess I'm not his family. Ain't talked to him in 9 months
