First, what religious community were you raised in?

Second what you describe, and what I assume the show mirrors, is a an awful, hellish experience for women that no human being should have to endure. And worse, that's been the "reality" of a girl/woman's life, except perhaps for the past fifty years...as marked by Roe v Wade...

That's why it's almost incomprehensible to me that Women, and those who truly love them, have not upended the Republican party...and this nation...until Women have bodily autonomy, freedom and liberty...

I ask, "How is it even close" that Republicans will likely win the House and probably win the Senate too...

And yes, there's a difference. There's a difference between the outright submission, hostility and abuse the Republican party stands for towards Women and the Democratic party that at least strives to recognize the humanity and dignity of Women on some level...

So to answer your running question through this very important article...

A difference does exist. And that difference is between What Never Should Be and
What Can Be...

The first is a death sentence (for the soul)
The second is worth fighting for, no matter what...
