Reinstituting male dominance. I’ve reported this before. Years ago listening to talk radio I heard some guy call in, lamenting that “this country started going downhill when women got the right to vote.” So if it were up to people like him, we who make up MORE than half the U.S. population would become second-class citizens. How soon will we women have our right to vote, and to own property, and other rights - taken away from us?

and you've got a situation where a woman becomes a slave the moment she becomes pregnant, then ends up telemarketing in a for-profit, private prison for attempting to get an abortion. Is 1 + 1 = 2 anymore???

4. If they can take away our right to be autonomous, they can take away our other rights, too.

Goodbye Nineteenth Amendment. If that ever goes, imagine what else will go. Rape laws. Abuse laws. It'll pretty much be open season on women. You would think they would hold women in esteem, since we're the ones that bring this precious life they supposedly care about so much into the world, yet they have nothing but hate & disdain for us.

8. Given that black women have abortions at a higher rate, wouldn't the racists support it?

Per these statistics, 38% of abortions are with black women, the highest of any tracked race or ethnicity.

Wouldn't that encourage racists to support the practice?
