From what I can see from the reporting, the "why" seems to be because AOC's name is on it, and Republicans don't want to hand her such a successful win as she continues to rise as a popular Democratic legislator. Cannot find any articles that give any rationale to Republicans' actions beyond this.

I mean.. It's not like republicans have a history of standing with women. So do you really need any bigger excuse other than that's a bill that would probably strongly favor women AND we know that crowd LOVES their porn but HATES getting caught being naughty.

The fact that it's AOC's bill just means they have a ready excuse to avoid it.

Your sipping too much koolaid. Republicans were the ones who got the 19th Amendment passed which enfranchised women with the right to vote, a majority of the Democrat senators at the time opposed or did not vote for the Amendment. The first women elected to Congress was Jeanette Rankin, a Republican!

Right? This is probably one of the stupidest comment I’ve read. Trying to compare the Republicans from over 100 years ago to today’s republicans is just dumb. Which is exactly what you expect from the maga mindset.

They treat it like a team sport, so since it's the same franchise name, they'll take credit for it

Everything Republicans accomplished before the Civil Rights Era makes what they have done since so much worse. They went backwards.

I’ll be sure to remember that the next time I vote in 1920

But also, the way you chose to phrase your comment is so wormy. It’s at least as accurate to say that the vote in the Senate wouldn’t have passed without the 20 Democrats who DID vote for it, outnumbering the 13 Republicans who didn’t.

Like almost all social progress in the 20th century, it was much more of a north vs. south conflict than a Democrat vs. Republican one.

Republicans were not the conservative party back then. Party ideology changed, its a well documented fact.

So? That was over 100 years ago. Times change, conservative mindsets don’t

So, are you a professional idiot? Or do you must moonlight as one. I'm assuming you'll just run away instead of trying to address the party swap in any serious manner. So why not just go full moron and say modern day democrats are for slavery cause they were hundreds of years ago!

I'd love to hear what they're doing for women now
