It's an outrage. And that's why so many people don't want to pass it. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Can you comment on the implications for women that bill? Yes. If a woman changes her name and you want to go first to go register again once you're kicked off the rolls and you have no way of knowing, only 5% of people register in person, you need a passport or your original birth certificate.
