Girls and Women: Breeders?
Update 24 June 2022: They dropped the nuke. Roe is dead. The conservative American tradition of court precedent is again shattered. Five far-right Supreme Court justices stomped on it. Three were appointed by Trump and rushed through a corrupt Senate confirmation. Do-nothing Dems let it happen, delivering a kick in the belly to a hundred million American women and girls.
I originally published this piece 50 days ago — seven weeks, a time in which many women don’t realize they’re pregnant.

As an American woman, how do you look to Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Barrett — the five Supreme Court justices who reportedly will vote to overturn Roe v Wade?
First and foremost, you are a breeder.
It doesn’t matter how educated you are, how talented, accomplished, hardworking or important to your family or community.
If you’re of childbearing age and a man decides to impregnate you — even against your will — then you’ll have no rights, no choices. You’ll breed. That is what these five justices are telling you.
By the way, two of the five are credibly accused sexual predators. One was an actual handmaid in a religious cult. (Think Gilead.)
What if you were to get pregnant again, also against your will? Then you’ll breed again. And again. Until your body ages to where you can no longer breed.
It’s rape by jurisprudence. Led by the far-right GOP, the moral filth of patriarchy is recolonizing you, figuratively and literally. It looks like corporate Do-Nothing-Dems won’t protect you. At least they sure haven’t so far.
But you can still raise hell — and cast a vote.
Keep that in mind. You’re gonna need it.
We all are.
