After Roe v. Wade fell, the National Domestic Violence Hotline saw a 99-percent increase in callers reporting that people were trying to control their reproductive choices.
I hate this. I appreciate that journalism is trying to highlight this as a way to help people understand why roe overturning was such a bad idea on so many levels.
For some people, this is exactly why they wanted it overturned. Pro-Choice Activists have been saying for decades that this is about rolling back women’s rights and freedoms, and that arguing over the merits of abortion as a medical procedure was pointless.
Why do they want this though? Why do they want to roll back women’s rights and freedoms? What’s the appeal of that? Just… Why??? ~Strawberry
Fucking evil. Not only sexual abuse, but controlling their victims not only through forced pregnancies, but using the potential life of a baby as a tool for coercion. Attacking abortion was never about protecting the fetus, it’s only another method for Christian fascists to control and subdue women.
Probably also a lot to do with needing more bodies for the meat grinder that is our society.
I just wanna pop in and state that this is a feature and desired impact of the anti-abortion movement.
