There is a women's protest march on the state Capitol in Austin planned tommorow. Do you think it could have an effect?

No.

It should have an effect on anyone with a conscience or a grain of sense but some things just have to be said whether anyone listens or not.

There are protest marches all over the country. I agree with what @flutherother said. It won’t make a difference but needs to be said.

It never a waste of time (whose time anyway; apparently the protestors all found the time in their schedules) when you can use your voice to shed light on a subject you are grinding your gears on.
And for awareness (for all one knows, a young person can be made aware, and decides to become a legislator that’s going to fight for said subject?).

Will it have a effect. YES

Will it change the recent law that was put in place. NO

NO

Texas government is backwards (surprised the let any females in) !

They may not be able to read the signs. j.k.

No immediate effect, but over time it becomes part of history (as long as it is not forgotten) and means something. Each little quake has effect. It might impact younger people to be more motivated to take action or to become aware of the issue. That can have longer term effects.

It shows the people and the politicians that it’s a topic that many people care about, and won’t be passive when it comes to our rights being taken away.

If the Texas legislature cared what women think, they wouldn’t have passed the law in the first place.

Rose-tinted glasses.

No one who passed this law gives a fuck what these people say

Maybe the public won’t give a fuck if they don’t get reelected… we’ll see.

Texas women need to be as bold as the male fuckwads who passed this shit statute.

One protest by itself will never bring change. But it’s worth doing to build a movement that leads to reform.

Agreed. Give ‘em hell. And keep up the pressure.

Aren’t you in Texas? What makes you feel differently? You are in the best position to know if it will make a difference in the local mindset. Do tell.

The voter mind set, I hope and think it might. The legislative mind set, probably not. But when politicos piss off a significant part of the public, it sometimes doesn’t work out so well. But these ass clowns are pretty arrogant. So we will see. @KNOWITALL

“But when politicos piss off a significant part of the public, it sometimes doesn’t work out so well.”

I hope it works out so that they never hold office again.

The TX RepublicQans may have figured out ways to keep people of color from voting, but it seems it would be a lot harder to keep women from voting.

The ONLY way for any change to happen is for new people to be elected, or for the supreme court to rule it Unconstitutional and it stops then.

Mid Terms aren’t that far away.
