Do most Americans actually change their names to match the man's last name?

Is this the same in all western countries?

What happens in same-sex marriage? 🤔

My mom's legal last name is still the same as her father's last name, and we're from China... which is kinda weird since the west is supposed to be more progressive in most areas...

I remember my teacher was like writing a note to my mom for some reason and wrote "Mrs.[My Last Name]" and I was like no, that's wrong... that's the first time I learn of this whole... "change last name to match the man's last name" was apparantly a thing.

Don't worry, they'll only enforce this with Democratic voters

Not having any form of national ID really does lead to some goofy shit when you need to positivly identify people.

They are also going after Mail-In voting already:

A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Americans can’t sue the U.S. Postal Service, even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail.

It's just the first step in taking women's and trans right to vote away. There are other steps too. This is just the start.

Looking forward to being a future target for never having married and/or taken a man’s name next!

None of us are safe until all of us are safe.

"Don't get married, women. Or you no longer have the right to vote!" -- MAGA, apparently

Ambiguity, which means that the rules will bend in favour of the priviliged.

Who sais MAGA women shot themselves in the foot? They dont want voting, they like fascism. Same for MAGA men. If they could withdraw from voting and let the king run the country uninterrupted, then they would gladly do so.

I guess all those blue haired feminists that refused to get married or change their last names still get to vote

I have nothing to back this up but it feels like this would hurt conservative women more than Democratic women? Like it feel more conservative to change to the husband's name, and liberal women usually keep theirs, no?

Not to mention like unmarried women are probably more common in the liberal side? Right?

Riiiight back to de medieval…

I’d be willing to bet this will disenfranchise more republican women than democrat women. Democrats are way more likely to have a passport

Wait, this is even dumber then it looks like. Under this crap unmarried women will be unaffected but the more traditional marriage types will be hooped. So this will remove the "trad" wife votes but not touch the ladies in say the local polycule. Gee I wonder if all the single/divorced women will be more or less likely to vote for the red party?

Easy solution, just don't marry anyone with a different last name.

They'll go after each demographic whose voting habits favour democrats: Immigrants, women, educated, non-christian, poor, lbgtq+, young, non-white. Whichever ones you belong to, makes you a potential target of voter disenfranchisement.

Last I checked the federal government cannot tell the states how to run their elections?

I thought incest was illegal?

Do the Republicans really think they are going to benefit from a requirement that disenfranchises people who don't have proof of citizenship like:

-Women who got married and took their husbands last name
-People who keep getting divorced over and over again
-People who have never travelled outside the US

Bear in mind that the people who are basically guaranteed to have their documents in order are:

-Recently naturalized citizens
-People who travel a lot
-Unmarried women
-People who graduated college

But hey, at least they are going to stop all the undocumented immigrants who already weren't allowed to register to vote in the first place.

This is going to be like how they attacked absentee voting without realizing that the majority of absentees were retirees and the military.

And here I thought I was clicking on a post where some MAGA 2nd amendment woman shot themselves in the foot with a gun, not once, but twice.

My circles have been discussing this one for a while. Not a coincidence that they are making it more difficult to get a passport.

This is from USA Today. This is where political journalism is:
