It's their "Thank you" to all the suburban white women who were stupid enough to vote for TFG. Unfortunately, married women who voted for Harris are :collateral damage."

Or divorced women. Or trans people. Or adopted ppl who had their last name changed.

Unconscionable! What idiotic mind even comes up with something like this? Guess they were looking for something to “mitigate” the impact of votes lost on their equally idiotic stance on abortion. I also would have loved to hear “mr. Smug Grin”’s answer!!

If they pass this, no woman going forward should EVER take her husband’s name. I know I wouldn’t. 🤬

Research suggests up to 34% of voting-age women don't have documents proving citizenship with their current legal name.

I told my 16 yo that when she decides to get married, she shouldn’t change hers. I kinda didn’t want to because my maiden is WAY cooler, but I was young, excited to do all the grown up stuff, and naive.

I changed mine, too. Who knew? None of us could have seen this coming, not in this country.

The SAVE Act is a brutal voter suppression bill targeting women, trans people, and communities of color.

We will not let them silence us!

Use my free letter to tell Congress: VOTE NO on the SAVE Act.

We have the power—let’s use it! 🔥🔥🔥

I just got my first passport, in my maiden name.

Take Husband’s Name? No Vote For You!

GOP “Save" act is an attack on women.
It’s men-only voting like way back when.
Birth name must match in this awful act.
Money can fix your name. That’s a poll tax.

First Republican: Let’s do every bad thing we can think of to own the liberals!
Second Republican: We might harm ourselves. We might even perish.
First Republican: Who cares? Being mean makes me sad. I want to be with Jesus!

Grinning at the end 😮 I'd like to have heard his response

Here is the video of his answer. He says “If you’re telling me this bill is going to take away the right of 69 million people to vote, I disagree.”

Thank you for this 👍 although now I've seen it I kinda wish I hadn't 😔😡 it's like watching time being turned backwards Infront of your eyes.
These people are fucking idiots & I'm sorry you're all having to go through this shit. For us outside the US we're obviously focusing on the things that are

jonbond009.bsky.social•8 days ago

affecting us in the here and now & it can be easy to get caught up in your own issues but this what's going on now in the US should be on everyone's radar around the world and I'm not just talking about this issue. You've got real trouble in the White House and you can't let them win 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Same people who push traditional marriage agenda, seems contradictory aka bullshit.

I chose to keep my maiden name and my identity. It is not mandatory to take a spouses name where I live nor should it be.
