In a time of war and record unemployment, the GOP is sending a message: fertile women are the country’s number one enemy, and their freedoms must be quashed at all costs. State Republican (and some Democratic) legislators have introduced nearly 1,000 laws restricting women’s reproductive health access on the state level, and this is on top of decades of reproductive health policies that have made women second-class citizens in many states. Now, I would like to tell you the states you can’t go.
The first one is Mississippi. Mississippi has been such a bad state for women for so long it rarely even gets noticed in the news anymore. The second is South Dakota. Anti-choicer in South Dakota tried to ban abortion in 2006, but the non-misogynist population turned up at the polls and beat the ban back. But searing hatred for ovulating women will not be thwarted so easily! Indiana. Not to be outdone by South Dakota. The third is Indiana which has gone a step further and moved toward attacking both contraception and abortion access. The forth is Kansas. Kansas went from being a pretty bad place to be a woman to a hellhole rapidly, between the murder of Dr. George Tiller in 2009 and the recent election of devout misogynist Sam Brownback as governor. Arizona. Race-based abortion restrictions may have failed in Georgia, but unfortunately, such a law recently passed in Arizona, a state that can’t even pretend that it’s not run by a bunch of wild-eyed racists.
If you ask me to come to that states, I will tell you I would rather stay in home and buy RS gold. I will not waste my time on that.
