    The takeaway is that being pro-life is a very profitable enterprise until it isn’t, then it’s just another liability to the bottom line that needs to be stripped away. This is what it looks like to serve greed

      I honestly hope they’re too far up their own asses to realize its a liability yet. If they consider it profitable into next years election cycle, and the trend of the last few special elections holds, then having them double down could really benefit the democrats.

      Then, maybe the US could get the majority required to enshrine abortion rights into law nationally and put an end to this nonsense.

      I acknowledge this could all just be wishful thinking, however.

          I don’t think its fair to characterize itcall as laziness. I wanted to vote in my state’s Supreme Court election, but the booth was in a megachurch; not super workable for me as a trans woman.

          Thankfully, Wisconsin’s court flipped anyway.

      I disagree only slightly. This is what it looks like to control women’s bodies and deny any sense of agency.

      Doctors tend not to believe women when they are in pain, or what they experience in their own bodies. This is even worse for black women, which is why more black women die during or after childbirth. Even Serena Williams almost died after giving birth because the doctors didn’t believe her.

        Personally I don’t see a difference. Controlling women’s bodies and denying them free agency causes financial strain and keeps the funnel of resources flowing in one direction. Any moral justification or religious zealotry is just part of the act used to sell this idea to the small brained and weak willed, lining pockets is the real endgame. How women are treated by doctors is simply a symptom of the system.
