Here's what really pisses me off: When a state like Texas or Iowa proposes a bill targeting ISPs and credit card companies, among others, I want to see a bill proposed in a blue state (California and New York, looking at you) that's just as strong, in the opposite direction. I want every fucking business in this country to know that if you submit to the demands of red states, you are going to be in deep shit in the blue states. I want them in a no-win situation where they have to choose and they beg and plead for somebody to save them. Because if only one side is doing the bullying and intimidation, that side's going to win. This taking the high road crap is getting us killed. There are more of us. We have more resources. We have more leverage. We need to fucking use it.

It's ironic conservatives accuse people of "trafficking" if they transport minors to get abortions when they're literally weaponizing the law to traffick girls and women into unwanted pregnancies. Their go-to response to unwanted pregnancies is always "well you should have closed your legs." And when they end up in an anti-abortion center, they'll casually suggest to them to sell their baby to a Christian adoption agency to alleviate the "burden" they forced them into. This isn't about "saving babies." This is about weaponizing motherhood as a justice system to punish women's sexual behavior. And then cash in on the suffering through Christian "charities."
