How about we start with fixing this.

The rights of men don’t change when they cross State lines. Women’s do.

Unacceptable. Never stop fighting.

Signed.

1. Informational Only (Google)

Women's rights in the US are highly fragmented across state lines, with significant disparities in reproductive autonomy, legal protections, and bodily autonomy. As of 2026, abortion is protected in 25+ states, while at least 26 states and territories are hostile to it. Key rights, including reproductive freedom, child marriage prohibitions, and protection from gender-based discrimination, vary heavily by region.

2. remember when states rights was a thing?

8. They want 'states rights' when they want to do something vile to someone.

Otherwise, they want a 'strong ruler' (singular, of course).

[Skittles]

13. ain't that the truth???

gawd they are DISGUSTING

[FakeNoose]

9. Sure I do, back in the 1950's and 60's, that's all they could talk about

When the federal government came in with forced integration of schools, forced bussing of students, etc. those states screamed about "STATES' RIGHTS!" like it was the only thing that mattered.

[Skittles]

14. yes

but I didn't endorse it as always a good thing, just that repukes love screaming about it but now they seem comfortable with "big gubmint" - it's just more of their usual hypocrisy

[Silver Gaia]

4. Well, so far, that's been the only way we could keep ANY rights.

If it were all the same, we would just have NO rights. Hopefully, with a Democratic administration and a Democratic congress, we can fix that, though.

5. When they fine these women for buying the pill online out of state

or they fine or imprison a women who had a so called illegal abortion, or any other penalty they levy on the women, then put the same fine and jail sentence on the man who caused the pregnancy. If she goes to jail, then he should go also for the same amount of time or pay the identical fine.

[Redleg]

6. I too have thought about this

I am not an attorney but it seems to me that this is a violation of the equal protection principle.

[ihaveaquestion]

10. This was my first thought...

Also, if something equivalent is legal for a man, then it should be legal for a woman.
