If you are a female and voting today, try to keep in mind these developments - past and present - as women have sought equal status in society, and in the voting booth.
Suffragists in America at the turn of the 20th century ...
Fast forward to the modern era. Remember this guy?
After having his comments dug up by the Maine Democratic Party, Lawrence recanted and now "regrets" his unfortunate choice of words.
Still, via Addicting Info, we learn that Kansas Republicans want to assign birth certificates to miscarriages, which will then to be reported to the government.
We also have this from Jezebel ... a proposed Arizona law would allow employers to fire women for using whore pills if they can't prove they're using them for non-sexual reasons.
There's more, but you get the point. The struggle for respect and equality in America continues.
Keep this in mind when you vote today.
