COMMUNITY NOTED
House just passed law that married women cant vote I mean it never passed house and it affects everyone who changed their name not just women but frick trump anyways am I right guys?
Also kinda sexist to assume only women change their names when they get married. Smh.
I checked some polls on who takes their spouses name:
Women: 85%
Men. 14%
Women 80%
Men: 5%
I guess they have a point but I mean thats by their own choice.
It's H.R.8281 and it was introduced on 05/07/2024 that passed the house. This is the one that was reintroduced is the one that the commenter above linked which was recently introduced on 01/03/2025 and has NOT currently passed. The original bill flopped after passing the house. This is a second attempt that hasn't been passed.

Woah 14% of British "men" take their wife's name?
Even 5% seems high, I grew up in a liberal area and nobody I knew did that.

Based but lmao. How r-slurred can you be to draft this up and never once stop to think how this would affect the traditional Christian family that you so love?

You're falling for fake news good sir, nowhere in the bill does it say your birth certificate must match your ID.
