It’s pretty scary that these people were in such leading positions, with the USAID person even promoting her moronic ideology even abroad.
That said, the part calling calling out “pro-choice” as a term feels semi-true to me. Of course, that language is as much appeasement as it is a specific framing. And “pro-life” as the opposite term is at least as dumb because quite often it will lead to mothers being physically and mentally hurt or even death of the mother. Also, I do love the irony of women trying to take rights away from themselves.
Reminds me of Serena from Handmaid’s Tale – she helped install a theocratic dictatorship where one major goal was to strip women of their rights, and was all surprised Pikachu face when she had her rights taken away from her

Not irony, conservatism.
