Trump supporters lay claim to women’s bodies after his election win

Why Troubling News:

This is a ridiculously biased and poorly reported article that suggests that in the wake of Trump's election, women will lose their rights and safety. The article does feature concerning quotes and takes from far-right men, but the premise of the issue is all wrong. The author claimed "Trump ran a campaign that included denying women their free will," which is a completely unsubstantiated claim. In regard to abortion, the reality is that the president of the US does not have any say or power in the issue, as SCOTUS relegated the issue to the individual states. Donald Trump does NOT want to take away women's rights or jeopardize their safety, and the implication that this is the case is concerning as it tries to spark division and fear among US citizens. The article should have focused on the issue of these individuals spreading misogyny and violence.
