Would some American woman explain to me why they would vote for a political party that slowly strips away their individual rights to self determination? I'll wait. 
An honest question.

Because there are more important issues
The Repubs are pushing for a police state to enforce their anti-choice beliefs. They want to come between a woman and her doctor. They are intimidating doctors into not treating women who have pregnancy complications because the cops can charge them and the Reds can take their jobs away. The police have the power to investigate miscarriages and determine if it was a failed abortion. You know there will be mistakes and innocent girls will go to jail. Innocent doctors will too. The most private parts of a girl's life will be under scrutiny. Mistakes will be made.
The Repubs push the most invasive police powers imaginable.
They will take away a woman's rights to her own body, and her own decisions and impose the power of the police over their personal lives. They will do it even though their policies are backed by a minority of the citizens.

I believe white MAGA women hitch their wagon to the patriarchy of white Christian nationalism because they believe they will benefit socially and economically relative to minorites and other women of color by helping to keep white patriarchical domination at the top of the food chain.

Which "...individual rights (note the plural there) to self determination" are you referring to?

Right. That's why the ones who hate that sort of thing will be voting for Trump.Would some American woman explain to me why they would vote for a political party that slowly strips away their individual rights to self determination? I'll wait.

You are largely describing Democrats, once again.

How is nationalism "white" or "Christian"?
Your racism and bigotry are showing once again...

Mega MAGA
Yup. Those people are colloquially referred to as Democrats.
Yup. Democrats are already planning this via a digitally based 'carbon credit' system.
It has nothing to do with abortions.
Democrats have already done and continue to do this.

American women who support the misogynist SCOTUS decision to repeal Roe v. Wade,
and this would include the truly despicable Amy Coney Barrett herself,
most likely the least qualified justice in the history of the court,
are people whom American women of true quality and character
must loathe passionately.
History will record the anti-choice women as a group
less sympathetically that it has recorded the commandants of Nazi concentrations camps, possibly,
and perhaps it's only right that it does so.
Female proponents of Handmaid Tale oppression of women cannot be respectable women
by the standards of enlightened, intellectual, and moral people.
Male proponents also fall in that same despised category as well, of course,
but the women somehow seem even more pathetically deficient.

And let's not forget that they would create a version of old Communist East Germany, where citizens were encouraged/coerced into informing on each other.

Take a wild guess. Hint: what was the political leanings of the SCOTUS members who voted to rescind Roe vs. Wade? What are the political affiliations of state governor's who are implementing additional punitive actions against women who seek abortion under any circumstance (barring imminent death of the pregnant woman?
Then there's stuff like this: The U.S. remains the only country among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 38 member states without mandated paid leave for new parents, despite the fact that more than 80 percent of Americans support such a policy and only 60 percent of current workers are covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act’s guaranteed unpaid leave. At the same time, workforce participation plummeted during the pandemic, with women’s unemployment and nonparticipation nearly double that of men in 2020. https://msmagazine.com/2023/05/15/patriarchy-war-on-women-lgbtq-reproductive-rights/
Go ahead, take a wild guess!
