“It’s no coincidence that Texas, Tennessee, and Oklahoma all have majority-male legislatures — or that women are the minority of all state legislators. In fact, women still only make up 30% of all state legislators.” via WMC's the_fbomb
I’m from Tennessee and have often passed protesters on the sidewalk next to the Knoxville Center for Reproductive Health on Clinch Avenue, who wave signs that express that women who choose to abort are murderers that will go to Hell. I have also seen these protestors block the parking lot of this center so that women cannot enter the building easily or safely.
Of course, protestors are one thing — legislators are another. Women have no control over men’s bodies, so what gives politicians, who are still, the right to control women’s bodies? Abortion rights will continue to be restricted unless women take over more government roles to create and vote for laws that ensure gender equality and do everything to stop restrictive bills from becoming laws.
