Many safety issues are the responsibility of lower levels of government than the Executive Office

The State and local governments are in best position to determine bathroom safety for everyone

Spicer needs to rinse lather and repeat

This is not a responsibility of the POTUS

I’m with this Silverleaf on this one.

It’s about time the fedgov took its hands off things that are none of its concern. This is clearly an issue for states to work out.

not when it comes to lives and rape- this is a federal issue- many safety issues are regulated by the government- food safety is one- as it is the government’s responsibility to ensure safety- transporting a minor across state lines is a federal crime- there are federal laws against prostitution- when it comes to children- there are federal laws preventing many things- The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 created a federal rape shield law- there are Federal OSHA laws protecting all workers all across the nation-

We are talking about an issue that will affect all women and all children across all states- it won’t differ from one state to another- the women and children will be in as much potential danger in one state as in the next- Just like OSHA laws- women and children need to be protected to the best ability of the government across all states- Rape, molestations, beatings, crimes against women and children are life altering devastating crimes that need blanket protection because women and children in one state are NO less important than women and children in another state

I respectfully disagree that it isn’t a federal issue- this is a Huge national issue- it’s not just some obscure case where a small portion of people will be affected- it will affect all women and all children across the nation
