Ohio Democrat warns GOP: ‘Warrior women’ are coming for the unrelenting womb-regulators

State Senator Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) warned Republicans on Thursday that “warrior women” wouldn’t tolerate their attempts to control their bodies.

During a rally at the Ohio Statehouse in protest of new abortion restrictions, Turner noted that Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) had staged an 11-hour filibuster to kill extreme anti-abortion legislation.

“Thank God we have warrior women all over the country standing up for the cause,” Turner said. “And speaking of warrior women, how about Sen. Wendy Davis? She is certainly one of my new sheroes… Women in Texas, all over the country, and right here in Ohio are fed up. This isn’t about one bill or one state, it is about the unrelenting obsession with regulating a woman’s womb. Over 700 bills in 42 states in just the last few months have been introduced to regulate a woman’s constitutionally-guaranteed right to choose.”


The Ohio legislature on Thursday approved a $62 billion budget that contained a number of anti-abortion provisions.

These 700 bills introduces by the same party who introduces bills to cut food stamps, school programs and votes relentless to repeal Obamacare.

- attributed to this warrior woman of the past - Florynce "Flo" Kennedy





She used to tell folks at rallies and protests:
". . .Give 'em the fist. . .give 'em the finger. . ."

Google her name and learn more about her - and have fun.
