Meghan McCain.Yesterday, John McCain’s daughter retweeted a post by Kamala Harris that said, “Trust women. Trust them to make decisions about their own body, health care, and future.”Since Roe v Wade was overturned by the conservative Supreme Court in 2022, the majority of Americans now say abortion should be legal, according to Pew Research.
And the idea that women–like all people–should be free to make their own decisions about lives is also not terribly revolutionary.
Most would agree that freedom is a positive thing.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!But for whatever reason, McCain found Harris’ tweet so egregious that she felt the need to fire off a transphobic retort that said: “You and your party have to define what a woman is first.”You and your party have to define what a woman is first.
