They might be referring to the fact that US Republicans seem intent on removing all of women's rights. In several states, it is functionally impossible to get an abortion because of a lack of providers. (Sometimes, abortion providers are in serious physical danger; some have been murdered.) There are serious pushes to make procuring an abortion more expensive and more cumbersome; in some states they have tried to outlaw it entirely.

There is near-constant demonization of single mothers, too. Talking about how they should have kept their legs shut, or how they're just having kids to get welfare payments. There are big pushes to change the rules so that health insurance plans don't have to cover birth control. (And birth control is characterised as an issue which affects only women, but patently it affects men too - any man who has heterosexual sex but doesn't want children.)

A few months ago, a college student at a prestigious university testified about why birth control should be covered by health insurance plans. After she testified, Rush Limbaugh went on his radio show and said that she was a '*****' who 'expected the government to pay for her to have sex'.

Planned parenthood has lost a ton of funding; so have many state-funded nurseries and daycare centres. A whole preschool programme for low-income families called 'First Start' was shut down. Many women feel like changes to the funding of nursery programmes disproportionally affects women, because women are disproportionally responsible for childcare. And that's not to mention the loss of funding for a lot of rape crisis and domestic violence support centres - again, issues which affect predominately women.

I dunno, I could keep writing examples but I'm starting to get depressed. I don't even live in America and I find these things highly troubling.
