17. Barefoot and pregnant

That's how MAGA and Project 2025 like their women. Incubators, vessels, creatures through whom other creatures are created to work those fields, man those factories, pay those taxes to the 1%. Women who can't vote or speak for themselves, made only to serve and raise children and cook and clean.

Anyone who says this isn't a direct assault on women is NOT paying attention. Stripping contraception is stripping decision making and agency from all women. These bastards will start with poor women because they're the most vulnerable. But the idea/policy will spread.

If women push back? There's always the Rule of Thumb to reconstitute.

Which is why this needs to be stopped, yesterday.

We're not going back! Still has a good ring to it.
