Opinion | The Smothering of Abortion Rights Reveals Something Else About Republicans
www.nytimes.com
Both the federal and the Arizona Supreme Courts have conjured a past that rejects the right to bodily autonomy.

The states’ rights case for determining abortion access — let the people decide — falters on the fact that in many states, the people cannot shape their legislature to their liking. Packed and split into districts designed to preserve Republican control, voters cannot actually dislodge anti-abortion Republican lawmakers. A pro-choice majority may exist, but only as a shadow: present but without substance in government.

    …that they’re upset about the low military enrollment numbers. They need a bigger class of poor people to exploit for war bucks.

      It’s far nore about women having rights than that, they see women’s rights as the core problem that stuff like that are just symptoms of.

      The immigration, education, and abortion fights are all about power and control, and that can probably be extended to several other political topics.

        I’m saying they don’t want women to have rights, so they can be brood mares for the state.

          Honestly I don’t think it’s as thought out as that, I think they just want things like spousal rape and child sexual abuse laws to be undone.

          You have to remember that a lot of this is being fueled by incels of one type or another, these are dudes that hate women because of ex-wives, hate women because they can’t get laid, hate women because they age out of being the young girls they are attracted to, hate women because they aren’t the domestic slaves they were before Susan B. Anthony helped change things.

          I’m sure some of them are thinking very similar to how you think they are, but the majority just seem to want to own women and minorities, and Trad wife/Pick Me women think they will get to be Serena Joy, as if that’s some kinda good thing.
