Margaret Atwood thought she was writing speculative fiction but she has such a clear vision of what people at their worst are capable of that it is no longer fiction. One day we hear about controlling girls’s travel out of state, the next we hear about a registry for pregnant women and non governmental agencies funded to act as overseers of the pregnancies. It starts to sound like East Germany when every apartment building had at least one Stasi agent, Secret Police, to spy on the neighbours. I think there is a reason the costumes of the Handmaids are red. And there is a reason republicans are moving closer and closer to draconian authoritarian government legislation. The root source of their psychology is likely a childhood of being bullied and mistreated at home and on the playground until they protected themselves by becoming the bullies, determined to hide their feelings of inadequacy and lack of self confidence behind a narcissistic macho veneer of power. These are the childhoods of Hitler, Trump, and Putin. The misogyny, the hatred of women and the desire to control them by keeping them weak and powerless permeates every action. Like every stalker and abusive partner of women in shelters and morgues. Strong smart women scare them shitless and this is why they want women pregnant and acquiescent, dependent on dominating males..
We have American kids dying everyday due to poverty. Kids in this country aren’t even guaranteed BASIC HUMAN NEEDS. But yeah they care SO MUCH about kids and are SO “prolife”. 🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮
Wow. I can’t believe we have 5 kids dying everyday from guns and 8 getting shot daily from family friendly fire BUT this shit is happening. The red mist is really impeding my ability to even function properly in this damn society and fucked up country that treats women like garbage.
The disrupter part of me thinks this website could be super vulnerable to crashes should it catch the attention of those who can create a very messy data situation.
Interesting. So they're doubling down. The bill goes nowhere because of the Senate and WH, but, they REALLY want to be on the record supporting this?? If Democrats can't score political points on this (and the scary thing is I'm not sure they can) then we need big changes on our side.

Dammit. Just when I give Nancy Mace credit last night for being reasonable with the committee seat mess in Congress she pulls this shit.
This is so terrifying.

I know this won’t pass, but how stupid do they think we are? It’s actually insulting.

Not with my fucking tax dollars! Just like they didn’t want to support women’s health with theirs! Bullshit!

It would be interesting to know more about any links between the for-profit adoption industry and funding for anti-choice lobbying groups and CPCs.
And Nancy Mace constantly tries to pass herself off as a “moderate, reasonable” Republican........
