"There is no evangelical political movement. There is a new American Taliban..."

There is no evangelical political movement. There is a new American Taliban and their goal is theocracy."

-Frank Schaeffer

Schaeffer says RACISM is the origin of the American Taliban / evangelical anti-abortion movement. But they couldn't exactly SAY that so they used abortion as a tool or substitute for getting their white minority rule objectives accomplished.

I GUARANTEE YOU, that as soon as abortion is abolished, they're coming after BIRTH CONTROL - all forms of it. They won't stop at abortion. And if they'd use economic and reproductive terrorism in service of reproductive slavery as they just did in Texas, IMAGINE what else they'll use this style of terrorism for: keeping women out of the workplace or keeping them only in certain jobs, denying women education or the same level of education as men, keeping women from being paid equally to men, etc. JUST LIKE the Taliban.

1. I guarantee them coming after birth control as well.

They want to give us absolutely zero control over having babies which they can refuse to educate and just turn into slave wage workers who are too ignorant and too down beat to organize or try to better themselves. They want serfs/barons and this is the first step - controlling the women by keeping us pregnant. The oligarchs will win unless Democrats do something about the voting laws. If the RTaliban take back control, expect a lot lot worse to happen - probably starting with Medicare privatization,

2. It's been here for the last 60 years and longer.

My church taught girls needed no education, if they bleed they can breed and most of my class mates took that to heart. I was the only one out of just 5 other girls in my graduating class and the only one not married with children. My first friend gave birth at 14 and went on to have 7 more. To the day he died my father was ashamed of me for going to college, working and refusing to breed.
There are hundreds of thousands of women in America today that could tell the same story.
You are right, they won't stop. They smell blood in the water now. By the time the SCOUTS takes up the MS case, the entire Bible belt will have fallen to their rule.

3. Barry Goldwater "Mark my words....."

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the (Republican) party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
