As a 26 year old woman from Kansas who identifies as a Democrat, I am deeply saddened by the implications of this bill. It is disheartening to see legislation that could potentially impact my life in such a negative way. This bill has the potential to strip away important protections and rights that are crucial for individuals like myself. It is crucial that we stand up against this bill and fight for a better future for all Americans.

I don't agree with this bill, it's going to cause more problems than it solves.

Ugh, this bill is so dumb! It's gonna make it harder for me to get the help I need. Why do they always gotta mess with stuff that's already working fine? It's just gonna cause more problems for people like me. Can't they focus on something that actually matters? This is just a waste of time and money. SMH.
