'The damage will of course not be limited to abortion rights, but we are told comfortingly that this would
never be the case. We are already hearing that
abortion education will end in red states, Mississippi is
workshopping a contraception ban, and options for obtaining birth control are already
dwindling in states like Texas. We are living through an age in which pregnancy,
miscarriage,
in vitro fertilization, and
contraception are all increasingly
subject to monitoring and criminalization, which will be left at the discretion of
overzealous state prosecutors and, yes,
citizen vigilantes. New versions of the already Supreme Court–approved S.B. 8, the Texas “bounty” law, not only
encourage private citizens to act under color of law, backed by the actual force of law, but they also make it impossible to ask for help for anyone who is young, pregnant, and terrified. Every conversation with a counselor, pastor, teacher, or driver is deliberately chilled. The
most vulnerable pregnant persons will be left alone, terrified, and without even the possibility of openly discussing their situation with anyone. That is the plan: to chill pregnant people from seeking help unless they opt to carry to term. Don’t let the people putting the plan into effect say that it isn’t the plan.'
Gaslighters thrive on calling you hysterical and emotional. They’ve been calling women hysterical and emotional for centuries.
