The limousine that was set on fire during the anti-Trump anarchist protest in downtown Washington on Inauguration Day is owned by a Muslim immigrant who says the damage could cost his company $70,000.

1. What right(s) don't women have today in the USA that men do?
2. How is Trump trying to oppress women?

***riding on your coat tail*****

What policy did Trump change in the 24 hours prior to the march, that oppresses or makes women unequal? What you say.....those policies have been in place for the last 8 years? So they have been unequal and oppressed for 8 years and finally, have seen the light?

the left should support the public defending of planned parenthood, then pesky republicans will no longer have any say at all to what goes on at those clinics.

And, that opinions, feelings and perception are more important than facts and reality in setting agenda and policy.

She's a current agent? Are you referring to her likely losing her job over her posts?

I would assume that is what he is saying. And she should loose her job from the post. You may love or hate the president, but if you are a secret service agent you better be willing to take a bullet for the POTUS no matter who it is.

Agreed. I'm fairly "new" (or recently active, really) here so I guess it'll take a bit of a time to catch on to everyone's way of saying things lol.

thank you for your time.

1. I asked the same question yesterday when someone shared a photo claiming women dont have equal rights.. the response i received is

Well, for starters, it's not necessarily what rights we have, but to what extent they are respected. Women in America don't have the right to their own bodies, we continue to have have our reproductive rights threatened to be taken away. The women's march wasn't just for us either, it was for equality for all no matter our differences in race, sexual orientation, or religion. I don't see why it is hard for our anger to be validated, what is not to get? America has not passed the Equal Rights Amendment either. This act states, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” It's the reason for the wage gap, and I'd say that's something we can still protest. Yeah, our country may be ahead of others, our people treated better and given more freedoms, but oppression and discrimination doesn't have to be a competition and our voices still deserve to be heard"

I responded with the wage gap doesnt exist.. no response from her yet.

2. ...

So a healthcare provider shouldn't get medicaid funding because it provides a service that is legal in the US and uses no federal funding for that service?

Interesting.

So the 'left', as you call it, is somehow responsible for funding implementation of something Nixon signed into law?
