Their concern begins and ends with the assumption that a woman who chooses not to commit herself to pregnancy and forced, mandatory childbirth, is somehow grievously at fault, and it’s their business to step in and administer some form of “correction.” Once the person’s pregnancy is a fait accompli, the woman is effectively on her own. The forced-birth proponent then washes his hands of the matter, and — for all intents and purposes -- moves on to the next person whose behavior, in their warped view, needs controlling. At that time, all the platitudes and drivel about the “sanctity of life” and whatnot are tossed straight out the window.
This is how Donald Trump and almost all elected Republicans view abortion. It’s the reason why Donald Trump could haughtily declare, in 2016, that “there has to be some form of punishment” for women and others who try to terminate their own pregnancies.
Those consequences, however, are now surfacing in spades. As it turns out, people don’t like having their lives negated by Republican laws. They’re not buying into the idea that their behavior must be controlled and regulated by self-serving politicians. Nor do most of them give a damn about the theocratic, religious sensibilities of a misogynistic religious minority, whether those sensibilities are embedded in malevolent, restrictive legislation or spewed out by religious psychopaths on the Supreme Court.
But Trump was partly right about one thing: “There has to be,” in fact, “some form of punishment.” This November, the party that has willfully engineered this inhuman regime needs to be soundly taken to the woodshed and sent packing, Donald Trump most of all.
Who's going to be your protector in prison Mr. Trump?

'There has to be some form of punishment.' Yes, Mr. Trump, there really has to be
Long before a Trump-seeded conservative Supreme Court finally overturned Roe v. Wade, one constant feature of the forced-birth lobby has been to treat abortion as a thing, an action wholly separate from the emotions and motivations from the people...
