Yes, They Want You (women, girls) Dead

https://jessica.substack.com/p/yes-they-want-you-dead?s=r

. . .

To the politicians pushing anti-choice laws, women dying isn’t collateral damage—it’s just our job. They believe that if we were real mothers and real women, we’d give up anything for pregnancy: Our education, our finances, our safety, our health and even our lives.

It’s a belief so strong they’ve enshrined it into law.

So why mince words? Why call abortion rights a difference of opinion or an issue up for debate? This is about a group of people who believe women exist to give birth, and that anything we do that deviates from that expectation makes us unnatural—and ultimately expendable.

So, no: It’s not an exaggeration to say that the people who create these laws want us dead. They know what their policies have done and will do.

And we know what they really think of women. That’s why when feminists fight to make sure abortion remains legal and accessible, we’re not just fighting for ‘choice’ or for our rights and our bodies—we’re fighting for our lives.

Birth control is their next target.

Years ago an anti-abortion group had a reason against abortion that the fetus might be male. A potential MALE birth more important than a female's life.
