Earlier this year Kansas passed a "Women's Bill of Rights" that doesn't outline any actual rights for women:

The Republican-controlled Legislature overrode a veto from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly to define a “woman” in state law by a person’s reproductive biology at birth. It’s a move LGBTQ activists say will legally erase trans existence and will embolden conservative school districts to install stricter policies against already vulnerable students.
Women’s groups and conservative political leaders say the “bill of rights” laws are needed to protect sex-separated spaces like prisons and domestic violence shelters.
But take a look at the actual "Women's Bill of Rights" below:

It's just a list of ordinances restricting gender to sex assigned at birth. That's it. Is there any other group of people besides Republicans who'll pass a bill of rights with no rights in it?
A bill claiming to be about women's rights that's merely an excuse to attack trans people. Sums up how much Republicans care about women perfectly.
Instead of giving women the right to bodily autonomy, protection from workplace harassment, maternity leave that doesn't rank last in the developed world, lower maternal mortality rates in hospitals, etc....Republicans instead focus on the "right" to call transwomen men.
Thanks GOP.
I wish you would fight as hard for women as you do against trans people.
