I really don't know. That's why I posted this. I'd like to think there would be rioting and civil disobedience that would scare those conservatives into emigrating. But I doubt it. We've been way complacent through getting an election stolen, through being lied to about weapons of mass destruction and having our children sent to die for no reason. This would affect so many families though. The scared parents wondering what they are going to do to help their daughter -- I wonder how long this shit would go on before people had enough.
I am also not sure what I would do. I would protest, donate, work. I would not do anything that would get me arrested. I made that decision a while ago re civil disobedience. But this issue. I guess if it went on a long time and women were dying, I would be more willing to risk more.
I would also do my research and make sure I knew of places that women could go to get good help. I would not want to say "I don't know how to help you" to anyone.
Culturally, I think we would be dealt a serious blow if it lasted for any length of time. There would be a lot of anger. Could we get past the us vs. them thing without a lot of time passing after something like that? I don't know.
The complacency of Americans has floored me though. I never would have believed that we would have tolerated this many war dead, that we would be so indifferent. So, I just don't know.
