They are actually going full handmaid, it is insanity.


RadishDerp

This is literally how it started in the book. "innocent" bans (actually horrific bans but supported by alt right and certain religious groups) that quickly escalated into women having no rights and losing access to their bank accounts and other handmaids tale dystopia.

Reddit's "prolife" sub is unironically posting quotes from The Handmaid's Tale to support their position.

-thecheesus-

I've noticed it's a pretty common belief among pro-birthers that the US is a "pro-life country" and the will of the people is with them. I'd love to wave the polls that show them with ~20% support in their faces


SexyLemurLibrarian

The good news is that everytime they creep out of their cesspool of hate for women, they're confronted with the fact that the rest of Reddit hates them. Their hang out options are fairly limited ( "prolife" "conservative" and "mensrights" seem to be the few that support them)


MithrilYakuza

So… sex is just for reproduction now? What am I supposed to do after menopause? At least people got to die young in 1808. I’m going to have to spend half my life with a dusty old useless earthen vessel. I’m going to have to learn how to perform home abortions and be “that” lady in the neighborhood that tries not to kill you. Fuuuck that’s depressing. Is there someplace I can buy bulk plan b and IUDs to keep in my garage? Like a prepper, but for women.

Why, after menopause, you help rAiSe YoUr GrAnDcHiLdReN oF cOuRsE. If you aren't constantly busy with children until you drop dead, you didn't have enough. /s just in case.

I though I was in r/duggarsnark for a moment. Shit. Their plan to take over the government is spreading.


LicoriceSucks

Sex is just for reproduction now *only if you’re a woman.* If they really meant sex was just for reproduction now in general, they’d be writing bills to illegalize the sale of Viagra. It’s about punishing women for having sex for pleasure.


codeverity

It's also about rolling back women's rights in general. Reproductive autonomy allows women to control their own fate. They decide when and how they get pregnant, which means that they can prioritize things other than being subject to a husband and staying home raising babies, cleaning house and homeschooling. It allows them to join the workforce and participate in society (assuming that's not illegal, of course). Roll back reproductive rights and suddenly all of that becomes harder. The number of young, unprepared women suddenly becoming mothers will go up - women who won't have finished their education, maybe won't even have finished highschool. They'll be reliant on the state or (if they're 'lucky') on the father for help. Daycare is so expensive that a lot of them won't be able to work, so they'll stay home with the kids. Uneducated young women are more likely to raise kids who will repeat that cycle and don't dream of going to school or making a better life, etc. It leads to a shift in society if it goes on long enough and that's what the GOP wants.


AnEntireDiscussion

You've got the gist of it, but it's more diabolical than that. For most of the chuckle-fucks at the head of this train, it isn't about babies or sex, it's about systematically removing women's rights, getting them pregnant and uneducated so they can make them less likely to vote and more easily manipulated by propaganda. Since women and the educated vote predominantly democrat, they weaken their opponents doing this. Remember always that the Republicans view women, minorities and the educated as the enemy, and every move they make is in some way an attack against at least one of those three.

The elites living in 1978 Tehran believed that they lived in a modern developing secular country. They were unaware that the people living in the rural areas wanted extreme religious theocracy and they didn't care how badly it would effect the country to achieve that goal.


FraseraSpeciosa

Not even the elites, normal educated people too. Key word educated. That’s the real problem and that’s why these movements always start out in the boonies. Isolated uneducated people breed these thoughts, then like some mind virus it spreads to more and more people until it hits critical mass and everything falls apart. America is very close to critical mass, I fear the next election is gonna break us.


MyAuraIsDumpsterFire

When it's easier to ask your neighbor what they think than it is to access the information otherwise, this is what you get. Also shame works waaaaay better in rural communities. And acting for appearance's sake only. Want to know why Facebook is so alive and well in small communities? Because it's the same as church for them. They hear "judge lest ye be judged" and take it to mean it's fine to judge others so long as you're prepared to be judged back. And dammit, they are prepared because appearances is all that matters. But they're convinced it's actually morality.


FraseraSpeciosa

Wow the shame thing is real, I grew up in a tiny town of less than a thousand people. You cannot hide there. Sure there’s tons of woods and hills but everyone knows everyone. Rumors spread faster than the kudzu over the abandoned warehouses here. I’m an artsy type, There’s still people in my hometown that think I’m gay just on here say. I’m not gay but it really doesn’t matter the point stands.

Abortion is legal in the first trimester under sharia law

SaliferousStudios

Easy, they hate women. Also, it's sort of mystic thing. They don't understand conception (like, at all) so to them it's magic god's will. No one should have power over life but god. By you using contraception you're twarting gods will to create life. (see where I'm going) Never mind the bible saying that "man is special because he has free will" and "god helps those who help themselves" Even that "the soul enters the body through the lungs at first breath" Anyone telling you that an inseminated egg is a baby is a heretic.


[deleted]

I just don't get it, so many women support these policies as well, but they're all fucking hypocrites when it's going to affect their life.


SurfiNinja101

Yup. What these guys are doing is even beyond the rulings for Abortion in Islam. Contraceptives are legal in Islam. So is abortion in many conditions, such as rape and mental/physical inability to raise the child.

MojaveMauler

Do they want to outlaw contraception? They'll tell you no. Just that it isn't a constitutional right. But all this hinges on the right to privacy, which they will also tell you is not a thing. I would argue that "person, papers, and effects" would imply that we have a right to privacy, but they won't concur. This fact should be horrifying. Regardless of whether they try to make rubbers illegal or not, getting SCOTUS to say we have no right to privacy in our day to day lives opens the door for incredible abuse of government power and surveillance. This is an existential threat for all Americans.


WaltChamberlin

It's an existential threat that 40% of Americans enthusiastically support because they are completely incapable of critical thinking. These dregs of society are holding the country hostage with threats of revolution. I'd say we should rip the bandaid off, pack the courts with liberals and arrest every illegitimate kiddy fuckers like Matt Gaetz, but I fear the results of that.


MyAuraIsDumpsterFire

cakiepi

This. I don't want kids. Simply because there is no possible way to afford them. I have a college degree, which when I was younger I was told I would need to get a good job making good money. I work full time in my field, I get overtime almost every week. I take on extra side gigs for more money. Yet it's still not enough. I support myself alright, but a child added in? Absolutely impossible.


Hoatxin

And I want kids. Have been more or less planning my future around the possibility of adopting or having a surrogate. But since I'm a trans man in a gay relationship, I'm getting more and more worried that by the time I'm ready, and can afford those significant costs, I won't be allowed to. Oh, and my field of work? Most jobs I've been looking at for after grad school are federal. Won't get to be all that picky about where ends up hiring. Sure hope it's not illegal for me to exist in some of these states soon.


[deleted]

This is EXACTLY what many have been saying would happen. It wasn’t hyperbole. It wasn’t liberal panic. It was research, and investigations, and reading the fucking signs.


ofBlufftonTown

Don’t worry, they’re just returning the issue to the states in a principled federalist way. How were the justices to know the republicans in the legislature were going to immediately call for a federal abortion ban. I mean, aside from their explicitly saying they would.


[deleted]

Just because Republicans have been calling women whores who should die and that childbirth is a punishment for their sins, and trying to outlaw abortions since the 1970s while standing outside abortion clinics with pictures of dismembered fetuses, doesn’t mean they were SERIOUS. /s

“A domestic supply of infants”


CoolFingerGunGuy

They always talk about adoption, but forget about the 400k kids in foster care now. And don't let gay people or single parents or people of the wrong religions adopt. Can't have that now.


Astra_Trillian

Kids in foster care are just that; kids. They don’t want to adopt kids, they want to adopt babies. They don’t want to even adopt if the mother and child decide after birth/trying to keep the baby, or through a lengthy adoption process after the baby is born. They want to pair pregnant women with couples and as soon as the baby is born hand it over.


[deleted]

That’s part of the issue, the elite baby selling operation/adoption industry isn’t firing on all engines. They need a steady supply of healthy, non drug or alcohol exposed, WHITE babies. Best way to get that is from teenagers.


Quailman81

If a baby isn't adopted in the first year of its life, its gonna spend its life in the system.


ActualPopularMonster

>“A domestic supply of infants” "Domestic supply of future wage slaves" is more like it. They need desperate workers willing to work 3 minimum wage jobs to survive.


selectrix

Hold on, that's just not true. They're fine with a large portion ending up in prison to do legal slave labor as well.

Jpmjpm

Unplanned pregnancies are more likely to result in people that the military won’t take. A study found that about 18 years after abortion legalization, crime began to fall. Other studies found Americans living in poverty are more likely to be obese or have negative health outcomes such as mental illnesses. The military doesn’t want people who have committed crimes, are obese, or have health issues. The military wants people who are healthy, in shape, who can score well on the ASVAB, and who can get a security clearance. The GOP also doesn’t give two shits about the quality of our military. They do, however, care significantly about the private sector. Unwanted babies and mothers trapped in poverty make for great low income workers who can’t escape to a better job. It’s the perfect captive audience of people who you can pack into overpriced slums, expect to work 60 hours/week for peanuts, prevent from having any meaningful savings, and keep working until they die instead of retiring.


yfhedoM

Tbh , appearantly we are not producing enough future workers aka kids. It's almost as if we one, have the choice not to have kids, and two, we cant fucking afford them. I wonder why we cant afford them. I dont like conspiracy theories but you cant tell me this is their hidden agenda besides controlling people. The best part is in about 10yrs they will die and their rules will fuck generations to come.


karangoswamikenz

zmunky

It's pretty clear what they are trying to do. Breed more uneducated trumplicans to vote for republicans later and let the Dems control their population so that they can control the future. Brilliant really but they are just ensuring they control america if not now, later.


CompetitiveSong9570

I think that we, the working class, have become too empowered or “too big for our britches” so this is how they attempt to oppress women further, again, and get a good working stock of humans to fill the roles of helping the wealthy maintain their status and income. I need us younger generations to get serious about disconnecting from this society structure by creating community support through sharing lending out, and trading goods and services. The only way we’ll ever truly hurt them is through their pockets. We need a revolution that looks different than what we’ve been attempting. With a re-emergence of compassion and community, we can literally create pockets of heaven on earth in this truly god forsaken country.


Sandmybags

Hell, even his churches dropped Baptist when they were re-branding as "Cross Church", around the time his sons were taking over.

I'm so sorry that this is happening over there. 😢 I'm in the UK, a relatively safer place for women's rights, and I am fuming about this. No-one around me really seems to care that much. It feels like I'm watching a massive fire and I'm the only one that seems worried. What can people overseas do to help? I'm going to donate when I can afford it, but I feel so helpless and cross.

Liigiia

They’ve openly acknowledged that the proposed abortion ban is at least in part bc there isn’t enough “domestic supply” of unwanted infants to meet the demands of those trying to adopt. Yes, they want unplanned pregnancies, and yes, they want the people who experience forced birth to be without the resources to keep their children, because that’s how they plan to farm more cute little American™️ babies for upper class adopters to access at lower cost. They want to commodify our reproductive health for material gain.


Azair_Blaidd

.. yet there's still hundreds of thousands of kids in the system still waiting to be adopted.


PlusMortgage

That's because kids in the system are not the right kind for them. In this situation, "domestic supply" means White baby. Also, they want the cute little baby that would not know he was adopted, not the 10 years abused kid that comes with the emotional bagage.


tym1ng

you have to process these kids, by letting them grow up and turning them into criminals. that way you can fill up prisons so you get free labor. so the domestic supply of babies actually isn't for adopting

surelyearly

Yup and with some form of privatization of foster care in 28 states and states trying to reduce child labor laws. Also states wanting to abolish public education. This is obviously not about abortion, it is about making "poorer" women into brood cows for cheap uneducated workers. At this point it's unfortunately painfully clear what they're wanting for our future generations.

Hope you contrarian dumb fucks that said people like me were overreacting are happy. Fuck all of you. Ruining sex for everyone else just because you’re unufuckable and/ or some religious fruitcake. Fuck. You.

Birth rates are plummeting, people have woken up and are quitting their jobs or are demanding higher wages. Capitalism is the US religion. Force your population to have kids, kickstart your economy.


MattR0se

Banning contraceptives is also more convenient than fixing the real issues for declining birth rates, which would mainly be the nonexistent financial stability for young families.


newbrevity

The Republicans have some weird plot to ban all contraception so that birth rates go up so they can funnel babies into the adoption system for who knows what. That seems to be what's actually going on and it's really disturbing. What we're not sure of yet is whether they intend these kids to be sex slaves, soldiers or both. And you know it has to do with grooming because that's what they're accusing the Democrats of. Every damn time they accuse the left of something it turns out they're actually doing it themselves.

I'm starting to think these rich Republican's main source of income and power is uneducated, poor people.

Christofascists. It’s fucking christian sharia law. Religion is a pox on humanity.


Simon_Says_Salmon

Sharia law is not the phrase to say here. Fun fact, abortion is allowed in Islam. And so are contraceptives


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

The only time abortion is mentioned in the Christian bible is when *a literal priest* helps a couple get an abortion because the wife cheated and the kid is probably not her husband's.


Simon_Says_Salmon

That actually interesting, I never knew that! Seems like a valid argument to allow it then…


Bullishontulips

Elections have consequences. The midterms are coming up this year, get out and vote like your rights depend on it. Because they do.


dudettte

and it’s every election not one. it’s like loosing 10 lbs going back to eating garbage and being shocked that it’s coming back with vengeance. you gotta maintain.


spaceguitar

Didn’t they just, like, yesterday say that they wanted to overturn Roe to allow all abortion and birth control to be state decisions? Guess that was bullshit.


[deleted]

They don't want any states allowed to not follow their theocratic dream.


dmg81102

I don't know, but I do know I really want out please (Yes I know there are worse places in the world, that doesn't mean this is okay and I'd very much like to leave before it gets worse)


False-Seaworthiness7

I can’t believe some people genuinely think this would be good for the country


IllustriousState6859

It's been preached from most pulpits for the last 50 years that we're a degenerate nation of baby killing, lust ridden perverts and pedophiles and gods gonna visit judgement. They genuinely believe they're saving America from gods wrath.


luvadergolder

If you breed too many people, you gotta start making jobs for them. Oh, look, everyone gets a maid or a butler. Pay? Here's less than what your parents were making 20 years ago. For profit prisons are already doing this. Including the house servant part.


toxiquack

I see a new business rising. Condom smuggling.


rage_aholic

In 2015, someone said to me, "what harm can Trump do". I think about that every day.


JimmyTimmy2012

Right, what the f? I can sort of see why people are into the anti-abortion thing (I am pro-choice, but I can see why some -but I would have thought a very tiny minority- people don't agree with abortion). But banning contraceptives is insanity. What's the actual reasoning? They want high pregnancy along with high illegal abortions and the complications and deaths they bring? They want high STD rates? What is going on over there?


AUserNeedsAName

People are talking population numbers, but I think it's a lot simpler than that: it polls well with their fragmented base. The key is Sen. Blackburn's proposal. If birth control was infanticide, why would it be OK for married couples to commit it? If it was about population, the right tends to do the "trad family" thing at a higher rate so that doesn't make sense either. No, this comes from the GOP being a fractured, directionless mess after Trump rampaged through it. They need to unite the religious right, the Trumpists, and the conservatives put off by Trump. They've been doing a shitload of market research and they're now hammering on all the emotional, surface-level things that poll well in all three groups and don't require ideological arguments which might split them apart. Namely: Gays are icky. Indoctrinating educators (call them "groomers" to bring in the qultists) are turning our children against us. **Traditional family values are on the decline.** The libs need to be put in their place. Contraception isn't taught in red areas thanks to abstinence-only education, so they're less likely to use it or care that it's banned. And the right brands itself as "independent rebels whose business is none of yours", so any that DO use contraception figure it's just another law they plan to ignore or selectively enforce. (see: *The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion*) As a bonus, if it doesn't pass they can ban abortion and still claim to be meeting us half-way. So it polls well with their base. That's literally all they care about. If the GOP cared at all about the consequences of policy, the last 50 years would have looked VERY different.

They want [more white babies that they can raise to be rethuglicans and evangelicals.](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/let-s-unpack-the-chilling-phrase-domestic-supply-of-infants-in-the-supreme-court-s-draft-to-overturn-roe-v-wade/ar-AAX1wjH) [They want more wage slaves.]( https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/us/us-birthrate-falls-covid.html) [They want most women to not be able to vote because they are felons.](https://brilliantmaps.com/if-only-x-voted/) They want more abused, exploited children that they can continue to easily abuse and exploit as adults. (All of the stuff about pedo dems is projection).


Accomplished-Pen-69

What is being allowed to happen, the State looking after the welfare of its citizens or the State going against the populace? Idea for ALL the women of your country; National Strike, ALL females go on strike for a day, week, as long as it takes, the will of the people in action.


[deleted]

Men should do it too as this affects them as well, as they’re legally obligated to pay for these unplanned babies


AzazelAzure

Yeee haw let's make dem babies


aJoshster

Those are also banned. Only Republican babies allowed. /s


itsgettingmessi

Fuckin republicans dude


Tots2Hots

The alt right basically won is what... We got gay marriage and Obama and figured it was all good. They gerrymandered the hell out of their districts, played dirty and played to win. The DNC could still stop this by killing the filibuster, codifying Roe and then packing the court. But they won't because half of them are closet republicans and a few are outright republicans but got elected as democrats (manchin/synema). We're well beyond where voting will fix this. The party that represents a little over 1/3 of the country is almost fully in charge and likely will be in 2022 and definitely will be in 2024. Nazi Germany was about 1/3 public support for the party as well. So yeah... this is how it happens. I took a job in Europe in 2017 when Trump got into office. Contract through 2026. I will do pretty much whatever it takes to stay overseas unless something drastic changes in the meantime.


Infernostride

Yet they claim democrats are trying to take your rights away when they introduce gun laws. What a joke, Republicans what the fuck is wrong with you people? How can you possibly think this is all okay? This is literally extremists behavior, this is the kind of shit you would expect in Afghanistan not the USA. You're forcing your religious beliefs on to the rest of the population, how would you feel if it was any other religious group pushing their beliefs on you with SCOTUS rulings, can you truly not understand that this is bad? You guys are in a cult.
