In Phillips: Davis’ filibuster shifts abortion debate to women’s rights, she talks about how even though women have been in office, it seems like they still don't get the respect they deserve. They can be elected as governor or be a member of Congress but that doesn't mean that they are still being heard is Mrs. Phillips eyes. She talks about abortion and it is seem as a sensitive subject to females since they are the ones carry the child so they should be the ones that have a say on the subject of abortion.
She states that “Know your place. We’re in charge.” is what basically men say to women which is a bit extreme. Mrs. Phillips intends to speak to woman who feel like they don't have a voice when it comes to the option of abortion so she provides information about Senate Bill 5 which is the abortion regulations. With the author being a female as well, she is going to be passionate on this topic but it is bias. She shouldn't bash men on how they want women to know their place because it can be seen as a thing in the past. Mrs. Phillips does bring up woman in the past who have made it to office as if to make a point that we are making history but we are still basically just sitting on the sideline.
I do not agree with this because her argument is seeing to much of a women's point of view that it is obvious she does care to see the other side's argument. I felt like women have made a big impact but she doesn't seem to acknowledge that fact.
