sure is weird how all the people who assured me that stripping gay & civil & women’s rights weren’t next have suddenly moved onto speculating about exactly what level of rights stripping could be achieved with in tolerable levels of blowback

Supreme Court has a right to privacy over their deliberations, but I don't have a right to privacy over my body.

Nope. This does not end here.

Here is Louisiana’s new fetal personhood bill—which House Republicans just voted out of committee 7–2—making abortion a crime of homicide “from the moment of fertilization” and allowing prosectors to charge patients with murder. https://t.co/DJahoVd7mN

But I’ve been repeatedly assured by prolife folks that women who obtain abortions would be held legally harmless (whatever the fuck that means) if Roe were overturned. And yet, LA goes for this, and TN goes for criminalizing abortion pills by mail, and Texas goes for citizen bounties on women who have had abortions, and of course they’re strategically silent. I used to scoff at people who made comparisons to the Handmaid’s Tale. Now, I’m thinking they may have had a fucking point.
