"The nightmare that’s unfolded since Roe was overturned has been swift, far-reaching, and defined by women’s suffering: Cancer patients denied abortions, raped children forced to leave their home states for care, women who describe feeling like “walking coffins” after being made to carry nonviable pregnancies to term. That’s to say nothing of those simply denied the ability to decide their own lives and futures, their autonomy stolen overnight."

Walking coffins
"These stories alone are a horror. But what makes them an insult is Republicans’ continued insistence that everything is just fine. It’s a coincidence that OBGYNs are fleeing anti-choice states. Women going septic? Not their fault. Ever-expanding travel bans? That’s for our protection.
They’re telling us the monster under the bed isn’t real while peeking out from beneath our mattresses." - Jessica Valenti
Project 2025: Republican plan to turn women into Handmaids
"I think a lot of people are unenthused about Democrats right now. I think we see in the mainstream media that a lot of people are unexcited about are certain nominee for president. There's a lot of progressive causes that people want to make protest votes over.
And I understand that progressives are fighting for people who need to be fought for, but if we don't win in November, if we don't capture the presidency and Congress in November as Democrats, the climate is going to burn and Gaza is going to be rubble and they're not going to do anything to stop it because Christian nationalists believe Israel is ordained by God and they are going to fight to protect that piece of land as Israel given their last day's beliefs about the end of the world, and they vote on those things.
They believe them wholeheartedly. Women are going to be reduced to property of men, and that's already happening in red states, but they are so much further they can go, and I'm writing a post on Friday about what I think their plans are for contraception and access to contraception, all contraception so that black and brown peoples are going to have even worse lives than a lot of us." - Andra Watkins in the podcast

The Handmaid's Tale is fictional story about women forced into sexual slavery after a group of white Christian Nationalist men take over the U.S. government and disenfranchise women.
The Handmaid's Tale is supposed to be fictional, but with women being jailed for abortions in Texas and abortions being banned in Arizona, it is coming very close to reality. Compare the laws in Handmaid's Tale with what is happening in MAGA led states, and what might happen next in the Republican War on Women.
This is much worse than anything I could have imagined. Vote Blue! 💙
Our freedoms are on the line.
