10. This is not a surprise. I've been expecting things like this since Roe was overturned.

Roe wasn't about abortion; it was about women having equality. Now that it is gone, these crazies will use anything to make women less.

I was arguing with someone about a week ago. That person is a female Trumper, and she uses a hyphenated last name. She is Hispanic. Her husband is White. So her name is written as First Name/Hispanic Surname-Obviously White Surname.

I asked her how she could possibly support Trump and she gave me the usual crap. I told her that she'd better be careful because these idiots do not want mixed marriages of ANY kind, and that will eventually be on their agenda - just like going after women who have dared to have sex. And it WILL come to that eventually.

It's not about saving the baby - even in this case of prenatal care. It's about controlling the woman and punishing her for not being chaste (as they see it).

There will be more of this. The Handmaid's Tale is not fiction any more.
