Showing Original Post only (View all)Amy Coney Barrett is not a handmaid [View all]
The social caste she belongs to is wives, wife.
A handmaid is a subjugated victim. A woman raped, forced to give birth to her rapists baby and then give the baby up to the rapist. The wife is fully complicit in the act of rape and subjugation along with her husband.
