Actually, women's rights are protected as unalienable human rights, but so are the rights of unborn babies protected as unalienable rights.
I am always shocked by women who assert rights while denying the baby rights. You can't have one without both. Meanwhile, under our Constitution when rights conflict the process is for either the states or Congress to legislate how to resolve that conflict. Failure by them to consider the rights of both parties can cause a law to be deemed unconstitutional. So how do you think the unborn baby's rights should be protected... who should be responsible for doing that?
Regarding gerrymandering, you and I both agree the practice is terrible. so again, given Democrats are as guilty as Republicans for the practice, how do we fix it. I have proposed requiring computer software to design the various districts with only "geography" to use in the algorithm with the requirement being to minimize the distance from the perimeter of a district to the center of each district. No more games in New York, Illinois, or other Red states either.
I agree we need to secure the border, over 100,000 people will die this year from Fentanyl illegally crossing the southern border. Have you demanded your representative support securing the border. As an aside, health care is a state issue and many red states to have very robust health care services... my daughter is a single mother in Florida and works full time, but her income provides her access to the amazing public health care system in that state. I ran physician groups there at one time and I chose the public health care system for my children to be delivered in, since it is so good. Republicans and Democrats often have different approaches to funding health care, but not in the delivery of health care.
Again, you are correct, deficits are not unique to Democrats. But if you want to lay blame for deficits then look to the source of them, not the current serving President. The deficits under Trump were almost perfectly in line with the estimates made by the CBO in 2013 after the ACA was passed. If you predict a $1 trillion deficit in 2013, then the "drivers" of that deficit are already in place. The main differences in the forecast were higher tax revenues after Trump Tax Reform bill of 2018 and higher discretionary spending from the 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. But if you want to blame Trump for the increased military spending portion of that bill, that is fair.
Regarding NYC defunding the police. You should do a bit of research on that rather than rely on a police officer to be forensic auditor.

Most of the $1 billion in cuts was "funny math" DeBlasio used to impress people with how much he was defunding the police, but about $300 million was real.
