Voters kick all the Republican women out of the South Carolina Senate

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. In return, they lost their jobs.

Voters removed Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban.......

“Women, somebody else is going to have to stand up. Somebody else is going to have to come and make things right,” Senn said in her farewell speech on June 26.

Barring a woman winning a race in November in a district dominated by the other party, there will be only two women in the 46-member South Carolina Senate when the 126th session starts in January. No other state in the country would have fewer women in its upper chamber, according to Center of American Women in Politics. Women make up 55% of the state's registered voters.......

“When you’re on CNN and you're on MSNBC and you're on the front page of the New York Times and the front page of the Washington Post, you’re repeatedly sticking your finger in the eye of a lot of conservative folks,” Republican Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said.......

“It can be exhausting sometimes. I felt like I was always being judged in a way my friends who are Democrats were not,” Gustafson said after her primary loss.

You must not know the kinds of females that I know. I wouldn’t let most of these broads write my shopping list for next week.

ie. Held to a moral standard. As apposed to Democrat females who are held to an immoral standard.

These pro choice harpies were voted OUT!

The correct terminology is "pro-baby-killing." But yes, thank God they were voted out.

There are PLENTY of examples of women voting for a female candidate just because she is a woman. Does ANYONE know a man that voted for a candidate because he is a man?

Repeal the 19th!!!

“I’m OK with the 19th. Just pass laws that prohibit any woman from holding office.

That is the problem.”

No, women are bad both as leaders and PICKING leaders. What that means is that we’d have just as many Biden’s and Newsoms.

Sorry but even though the Republican party has a big tent, baby killers are not welcome.

I’m so tired of identity politics. I seriously doubt any Republican women were kicked out for being women. Democrats, however, will vote for a woman for the historical significance of it being the first woman, first black, first…whatever.

"I’m OK with the 19th. Just pass laws that prohibit any woman from holding office."

But they will help elected male Demonicrats Without the ewomen's vote no Demonicrat would be elected President.

I don’t think the author hates women, just the way they vote. Nice leftist tactic there.

I don’t hate them for not agreeing with me, either.

But I DO hate them for trying to destroy my country.

Cheers!
