Men have too.

With about a month before the midterm election, some Republican candidates across the country are scrambling to moderate their position on abortion. Supporting the recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — which overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion — might be a winner in a Republican primary, but early signs are that it makes it harder to win a general election.
The conventional wisdom is that that’s in part because women are more motivated to vote this election season thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling. Conventional wisdom isn’t necessarily based on evidence, though. And while abortion is an increasingly important issue for women, there are signs it is galvanizing some men too.
If the Dobbs decision were motivating more women than men, then there’s a metric where that change would probably show up: the gender gap. The gender gap is calculated by looking at the difference between the share of men and women who voted for a particular candidate or party. A higher share of women than men have voted for Democrats in every midterm election since 1980, and in the past two midterm cycles the gap has been even bigger.
The 2018 midterm elections are a good example. That year, according to the exit polls, 59 percent of women — and only 47 percent of men — voted Democratic, which means the gender gap was historically wide, at nearly 12 percentage points.

A minority of women here would, even though the odds of getting the government they want increases heavily.
That is proof it should be repealed.
They would rather have the right and lose, than not have the right and win.
Eazy peazy!
One ‘rapist’ can attack SEVERAL women!
📌
That does not explain why women continue to go (in GREATER NUMBERS) to where the rapist, even if there is only one, is KNOWN to be and KNOWN to attack!
Common sense says do not put in a store where you KNOW you are going to be robbed daily. Now, if you have a store and it STARTS getting robbed, you may try to stay until the environment changes and the robberies go back to normal. But if you have an area of your city where robberies are prevalent, you seldom ever see new stores opening. This is because the owners and their insurance company are not willing to pay the price necessary to create that store, KNOWING THEY WILL BE ROBBED ON A REGULAR BASIS.
However, women are moving in greater numbers, every year, to where they claim the rapes are most likely to occur...WHY?!?
“If you can’t avoid being raped, you may as well lie back and enjoy it.”
Just take more antidepressants, which 1 out of 4 women are on. Vote for people to save you from your student and personal debt by using some plumbers or waitresses taxes. Vote democrap to throw people in jail or cancel them. I fear for where we are heading.
“I fear for where we are heading.”
I fear where we already are at and how far down that road the liberals want to go. Their childish stupidity knows no bounds.
You are correct, the Barbarians are inside the gates.
