Public support is the bare minimum you expect in any democracy. In this case, you wouldn't even care what women thought about the issue because they wouldn't be able to vote in future elections.

The House of Lords "no" is utterly pointless. The assumption is the Conservative Party is behind this proposal and has a majority.
