Oh shoot, the GOP left some data laying around. Don’t worry. They will begin deleting such facts immediately.

"Look how low divorce rates were. Great success!"
For some that is almost explicitly the goal. They advocate against no-fault divorce which will, by is very nature, keep more women in dangerous marriages and increase physical and sexual abuse of women. In the 1950s, women were rarely seen as hirable and that kept them financially dependent on men. Today we don't just let women work, it's a necessity for basically everyone. But while we have made sure women (and men) can still independently with programs like SNAP and medicaid, those same people advocating against no-fault divorce also want to weaken or eliminate those programs. The end result of that will mean that basic survival will require, at minimum, two-earner homes. This will further tie women to abusive husbands even if they could justify an at-fault divorce, because they may be choosing between physical/sexual abuse and being able to feed, cloth and house themselves (and their children). This will also naturally increase suicide rates among women. So... those goals are indirectly GOP platform policies.
IIRC women couldn’t get a credit card into the 70’s. Crazy.
Edit: couldn’t

What was the photo?

It's one of their goals, yes
Of course that is exactly their goal. It's not like they're trying to hide it.
In short, this is some BS tweet (and blatant propaganda) that seemingly has no actual science backing it.
Firstly, no source was provided to back up his claim about female suicide rates. The Statista link from this comment suggests that he is talking out of his ass.
Secondly, that alone would not have been enough to establish a causative relation (no fault divorce => less female suicides). Because correlation does not equal causation.
