Who's questioning women's right to vote?

“In my ideal society, we would vote as households,” a pastor tells CNN. “And I would ordinarily be the one that would cast the vote, but I would cast the vote having discussed it with my household.”

Another agrees, saying he’d back an end to a woman’s right to vote: “I would support that, and I’d support it on the basis that the atomization that comes with our current system is not good for humans.”

The discussion of 19th Amendment rights was part of a news segment focused on Doug Wilson — a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist pastor based in Idaho — that was reposted to X by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The secretary is among Wilson’s supporters, and his involvement with Wilson’s denomination highlights how a fringe conservative evangelical Christian belief system that questions women’s right to vote is gaining more traction in the Republican Party.

Kristin Du Mez, a professor of history at Calvin University and author of “Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation,” said Wilson’s broader vision of Christian nationalism has gotten more attention over the past several years, alongside President Donald Trump’s rise to power.

They just want to end our right to vote, along with a lot of other human rights.

Here's the plan: No vote/no nookie, no cooking, no nothing. We go on strike and the guys in the exec suites pulling these cretins' strings can figure out how to make their own calls and coffee. The nation would come to a standstill. Not the best plan for those shareholders.

Supreme Court about to eliminate voting rates and after that it’s going to just completely be destroyed, everything, absolutely everything.

Traditional methods of responding will not work.

A. Be prepared for what’s about to happen as in the Nazis know they cannot win honest elections so there won’t be honest elections.

B mobilize now to get everyone on our side when they take away voting rights and when they take away Social Security and Medicare. The only good thing about it when they do those things is it might mobilize people who are now not paying attention and who are now on the piece of shits side.

Let's just all go to bed at night, safe under the covers, and pretend that nothing is happening.

“Made ya look!”

People need to recognize when they’re being trolled…

While voting rights are indeed under attack, The 19th amendment isn’t going anywhere.

christofascist, theocratic, patriarchal, woman-haters do not need to repeal 19A. Insurmountable obstacles will do the job quite well.

Your posted deliberate obtuseness on this incredibly serious attack on women's rights does give one pause.
