It is absolutely bizarre to me, that we as a society will be taking away the freedom of select women and locking them away with actual criminals simply because they chose to act on their right to bodily autonomy.
And then they assume an exception has or will be there for them because theirs is morally justified because they’re good people, and everyone else is a sinner.
While there is a place for it, my issue with saying misogyny in this context is that it’s a vague, loaded and nebulous term that people project their own meanings to and detracts from the nuances of the reasons that lead women to support anti abortion legislation in the first place. I don’t think the sociological forces can simply be explained away by saying its misogyny, there are women that sincerely believe abortions are unethical.
It’s not the belief that abortions are unethical that is misogynistic. It’s the belief that your ethics on abortion give you the right to take away another person’s right to make decisions about their body based on THEIR ethics, because they are women.
Don’t believe me? Imagine a law that forces every healthy person to donate blood. Why does that sound ridiculous when the risks of blood donation are far less, and the number of lives it could save far higher? Or donating a kidney, which carries similar risk-per-life?
The answer: because it wouldn’t only be women affected.
You can weave together theory all day, the fact is that the average voters won’t even care to understand. Much less if you go up to women who support anti abortion legislation and start calling them misogynist, they look at the world through a completely different lense, and they will not take anything you have to say seriously.
Just like the war on drugs. We locked up so many people for smoking a joint or having a speck of cocaine on them. As if these are the people who are a danger to society (most of the time).
Gonna be a bunch of women in prison for this. That’s wild.

It’s bizarre to me that some women voted for this.
“I’ll never need one.” Until they do.

The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion
They never even take the time to consider the needs of the women within their own “tribe.”  They are simply brainwashed.
This, we like to talk about men making decisions on women’s reproductive rights. But if it wasn’t wasn’t for women this wouldn’t have passed.
If I wasn’t for men it wouldn’t have even been introduced or gained this momentum. If it wasn’t for misogyny this wouldn’t have passed.

Seeing as how I never planned to do that, I’m fully comfortable calling a spade a spade, no matter how else people think about it.

And those women are also misogynistic.
Why, why, why…
These women should not be allowed to do anything but pop out kids, fuck, make food and watch their damn mouth.
I do not suffer a woman to speak - some Bible verse.
We really should be cyber bullying these bitches nonstop just saying.
Your parents failed you, and they failed us too. Get therapy.

And Congress critters enjoy all the drugs they want while also playing underage females with them (Gaetz).
Autonomy is always at the discretion of rich old white men.
That’s not 100% accurate. Some of them aren’t rich, several of them aren’t old, and a few of them aren’t white.
The girl was 7 months pregnant at the time of abortion and they burned the body. This isn’t normal at all.
Which wouldn’t have been necessary at all if Republicans weren’t all up in her vagina in the first place.
Cremation isn’t unusual.
It will be.
