Under new voting bill, if a married woman has a different name from the one on her birth certificate she cant vote. Dear Sisters, don’t take your husband’s name

Seems from an era when men were the sole providers and more important than women. Whats wrong with giving our children our name? Or both names?

In Canada, at least in Alberta, even if you legally change your name, your birth name is always a legal name you can use. You can get ID in your birth name or your new name. This would negate that rule as a trans person could just get ID with their birthname. Since the trans community are targeted.

Who carries around their birth certificates anyway? Who has a passport?! I do, because of work, but half the folks I know have never left the country. This is crap.

In the Netherlands a woman can take her husband’s last name (or he hers, fyi), but that does not change her (or his) name in a legal sense. You can use your spouse’s name, but legally you will always only ever have the last name you got at birth.

This is horrible for all married women with name changes. I’m glad I never married. Having my birth last name all my life, I’ve always thought it was a stupid ritual to take on the man’s name when marrying.

It’s not just married women it divorced women who didn’t change their name back from their husbands.

So this isn’t just for new registrations - bad enough- but now every married woman who took her husband’s name had to register?? This is insane

Early '80s, my new boss (fundamentalist Christian) was outraged that I kept my maiden name as middle name. Said it was disrespectful to my late hubby.🙄 Told him my hubby (VERY good guy) would, ummm, loudly disagree.

I’m divorced but I’ve used a hyphenated name since I was married. All of my official documents are still in both names. My voter registration lists both names. I wonder what happens in this case? I don’t have a passport yet but will soon.

Because it will need 60 votes to pass in the Senate and there are enough Dems to kill it.

I don't think that this was very well thought out. Would a woman who votes for more liberal thinking people be less likely to take her spouses name than a conservative woman? Which voters are more likely to have a passport? This will be challenged in court all over the country eventually. So stupid!

Okay then.. so all married women who took their husbands' last names (by convention) should no longer consider those surnames valid and revert to their 'maiden'/ original surnames.

Why should women change their names when they get married? Heck, why even get married? It’s a centuries-old system built to control women and transfer ownership, sorry, partnership. Keep your name, your freedom, your career, your vote, and your power.

I'd say get a divorce while it's still legal too. They are coming for no fault divorce. You can always just live together afterwards.

Unless Chuckie takes the knee again to the chief Nazi, this bill dies in the Senate. It needs 60 votes to go the floor for up or down vote. House did this as performative showmanship. SLAVE act (Stop Legal American Voters Everywhere) would restore electorate of 1860: white men of power only.

What if your 1953 marriage certificate showing name change only lists maiden name? This is where we are at trying to get my 94yr old mother her Real id. They won’t accept it because it doesn’t list her name as her husband’s. I mean is she going to have to go to court to change her name? 🤬😤😩

Well, I have a passport and have for most of my life. Not to be taken literally, right? I’m too old to expatriate. Since my maiden name is my middle name — that’s how I changed my name after two years of marriage, I’m probably safe. Women with hyphenated last names, too. This is crazy!

For some of us, it is too late! Luckily I am a passport holder, but many aren't. Thing that will hurt them is they are more likely to vote Republican.
