Finally a real leader who does the right thing not what's politically correct.
I.m not a women but all i have to say is : God bless you Sarah ! Enough is enough
Hallelujah! She is declaring that we are not falling in line behind this nonsense! Facts are facts…
That Allison lady is part of the woke problem. Women are done! Thank you Sarah for fighting for us women
Alison Grigsby with her words provided the reasons why the governor signed the executive order. Stupidity is taking over and it is time to stop it! Thanks governor for your brave standing!
I’m from CT and I stand with the Governor.
Great job Sarah !!! Thanks for taking care of the people of Arkansas
Great job Governor! This woke BS needs to be delt with. Women need to be protected from all of the nonsense.
WAY TO GO GOV SANDERS I STAND WITH YOU.
Wokeness needs to come to an end now.
This is exactly what she needs to focus on. Women will not be erased!
Am with the governor.
Sincerely hope other states follow suit. The woke nonsense has to stop.
Sanders has real courage, this is what we need to see in Australia
Good for her. Each state should do the same and it shame that the government (president)doesn’t it.
Banning anti-women words isn't a particularly good way of looking at it. She banned nonsense words that don't mean anything except for breaking down mental processes.
Common sense must prevail so thank you Governor.
Thank god they are speaking common sense 👏 🎉🎉🎉
