Trump says he would 'protect' women, 'whether the women like it or not'
"We are survivors of sexual violence, advocates, and allies. And with voting already underway in the 2024 election, we come together to remind you that Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in a court of law. He is a proven abuser. This is not a matter of opinion; it is fact. A second Trump term would pose multiple dangers to our democracy—not least of which is the dangerous daily message it would send, through his presence and his policies, that sexual or gender based violence of any kind is normal, unavoidable, and something the American people should accept.
We will not accept that. We demand better, and believe that in this election, Vice President Kamala Harris is the right—and only—choice for president. She will be an ally and partner in the ongoing work to end gender-based violence." - Survivors For Kamala

Accused of domestic violence
"The dozens of accusations of sexual assault and harassment levied against Donald Trump over the years are inseparable from his political identity. But Trump has also endorsed several candidates for office who have been accused by those who know them of domestic violence, threatening behavior or sexual harassment.
Trump’s world is chock full of these types of figures: In 2018, then-White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter was accused of domestic abuse by two ex-wives. Porter denied the allegations, and the President wished him well on his way out the door. (Porter wasn’t the only White House staffer to resign over abuse allegations.)
Steve Bannon, once Trump’s campaign chief and then a White House counselor, was once accused of pulling his then-wife’s neck and wrist during an argument, and then of grabbing the phone from her and throwing it across the room as she called 911. Bannon pleaded not guilty and the case against him was ultimately dismissed." - Talking Points Memo

Republicans push abortion laws
"84% of the state lawmakers who have sponsored trigger laws are men, five states had no women sponsors for trigger laws, all but one of the 13 governors who have signed trigger laws are men, and 91% of the senators who confirmed the antiabortion majority on the Supreme Court are men. These men are overwhelmingly Republican: 86% of the trigger law sponsors were Republican, all of the antiabortion justices were nominated by Republicans, and 94% of the senators who voted to confirm the antiabortion justices were Republicans." - Letters From An American

Hypocrisy on 'family values'
"There are high public officials in both the Democratic and Republican Partieswho are being exposed for moral transgressions... But you don't see Liberals and Democrats running around calling for amendments to the national Constitution to ban gay marriage and cement certain "family values" that they select to govern the conduct of the rest of us. It's conservatives and Republicans who are out calling for that, and perhaps its' time for them to work on their own personal family values, as we all need to do, before they run around telling the rest of us how we should conduct ours." - HuffPost
Takeaway: End gender-based violence. Vote for Kamala Harris and Democrats.
