In reply to the discussion: Explain this, you hypocritical Republican shitweasels: [View all]jmowreader
(52,000 posts)31. I'm having a bit of a time understanding your post
In at least three states - Missouri, Alabama and Louisiana - the Republicans are working on laws that will punish women who get abortions with murder. They're all like "oh no, we won't REALLY punish women who get abortions, we just want to stop doctors from doing them." Oh really? Then explain why you're writing laws that allow women to be prosecuted for murder.
The only difference between what the Republicans are trying to do and Margaret Atwood's book is that, so far as I know, they are not trying to set up a system where a woman has to sit on the bed with another woman's head in her lap so the other woman can be comforted during her monthly rape.

For most of them, especially the men, it's all about controlling and terrorizing women.

It's ok if you're a Republican-- rules, morality, decency, hypocrisy mean nothing to them
