The Republican Party

 Once upon a time, the Republican party was just a political party and not a serious threat to Americans.  As things currently stand, those days are gone.  The Republican party is now a threat to the American people and women in particular.   I have known for quite some time now that, for me, voting for any Republican candidates was no longer a thought, or concern or possibility.  Not in light of what the Republican party has become.  The overturning of Roe v Wade was a huge step in a wrong direction that not only is terrible in and of itself, but it paves the way for further steps to be taken in harmful and threatening directions.  Women are not protected and cared for by having their bodies and freedoms governed by the laws of those who seek to control them.  The pendulum needs to tip back in the direction of equality between men and women and the upholding of the personal bodily rights of women.
