If you thought Trump's war on women's reproductive rights (and rights to action contraception) was limited to there USA, think again... as Michael Jennings notes, looking back at Trump's first term, the global negative impact on women's health & healthcare is likely to be relatively immediate.

From the series Till We Meet Again. When I kissed my mother’s hand as she lay beneath the rubble, I felt an overwhelming need for her touch as my heart was heavy with sorrow, anger, chaos and fear. It was as if that brief contact was a lifeline amid the despair. This simple gesture became a beacon of hope, symbolising resilience and the unbreakable bond between us.

Gidayn Gebreslaise, 25, and her two children Hiya Lijale and Dagmawi live in a centre for internally displaced people. The two-year civil war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, which began in November 2020, led to the displacement of more than 2 million people, including thousands who fled to Sudan. During her pregnancy with her second child, Gebreslaise was imprisoned because she was born in Tigray.

(#Trump ended up winning #Iowa by >9 points.) In 2020, her poll again showed Trump ahead by 7pts, which was both close to the final tally &, in retrospect, a sign that #Biden’s margins in neighboring states like #Wisconsin would be much thinner than other polls were indicating.
So many of us were anxious to see how big Trump’s lead would be this time, & the fact that #Selzer instead found him #losing came as a shock.

We’ve Been Underestimating the Scale of #Women’s #Fury
By Michelle Goldberg
On Saturday evening I was watching a movie w/my family when a text message made me gasp so hard that it scared them. “What happened?” my husband asked, worried. “Nothing bad,” I said, slightly overcome. “It’s just … #AnnSelzer has #Harris up 3 in #Iowa!”

All day, #political nerds had been waiting for the results of #AnnSelzer’s famously accurate poll of #Iowa. The state hasn’t been swingy in a long time, but the #Selzer poll, conducted for The #DesMoinesRegister, can offer clues about broader trends in the electorate. In 2016, when many #Democrats were feeling complacent about a #HillaryClinton victory, her survey showing #Trump leading by 7pts in Iowa was an early indication of his underestimated strength in the Midwest.
“That’s driven by the strength of independent women, who back Harris by a 28-point margin, while independent men support Trump, but by a smaller margin.
Similarly, senior voters who are 65 and older favor Harris. But senior women support her by a more than 2-to-1 margin, 63% to 28%, while senior men favor her by just 2 percentage points, 47% to 45%.”

Male Pollsters Shocked - Shocked!! - When a Woman Pollster Discovers Women Voters - emptywheel
This entire election has been disproportionately viewed through the lens of polling that has deliberately weighted to ensure that polling doesn't miss Trump voters, but not (as far as we know) weighted to adjust for post-Dobbs polling misses.emptywheel
I'm not content warning this, it's just a #woman in her underwear. Also, that would be irony
This is #Tehran’s Islamic Azad University on Nov 2
She was assaulted by #Iran's #morality #police because her #hijab was "improper"
So she just stripped
She was arrested and I don't think it will go well for her. Iran's weak, insecure, moronic hangups over #women's clothing is vicious cruel and violent. They kill women for showing their hair. It's all so fucking stupid
My heart is filled!!! ❤️ just got home from the Snohomish, WA #womensmarch and I feel hopeful.

LGBTQ+ voters in these 4 states could swing the 2024 presidential election
LGBTQ+ voters make up a relatively small percentage of the American electorate. But they’re poised to play an outsize role in the ‘tipping-point’ states most likely to decide the election.The Conversation
"“The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence—democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law.' 'Fascism treats women as mere breeders. "Children, kitchen, and the church," was the Nazi slogan for women,' the pamphlet said."
#Democrat Senator #SherrodBrown Ad seizes on an unwise remark about #Women & #Abortion.
#BernieMoreno, his #Republican opponent , said women older than 50 are “crazy” for caring about #AbortionRights. A series of #Ohio women who fit that description have much to say in response.
