What disappointments me the most about the overturning of Roe vs. Wade (and that is saying something) is the relentless and pungent ignorance that surrounds the anti-choice movement, especially from white women. The willingness to become pawns so easily in a political movement that was born out of racism and hatred truly makes my blood boil.

The day Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett was sworn in I tried to start educating myself further. I knew there had to be more to this than what I already knew, a reason why women would celebrate the loss of their own bodily autonomy.

Abortion is murder. Rape, incest, and the life of the mother only.

Corporatism is driving the subjugation of women. Not religion.

They have completely flipped the script without the “Feminists” even realizing it.

Why do you think major corporations are funding women’s expenses to get abortions?

It’s not for altruistic, humanitarian reasons, that is for sure.

It’s all about the BOTTOMLINE. It’s cheaper to pay for abortions than it is to fund family medical leave, sick time, and the downtime mothers would normally use to deal with all the family issues women have to deal with when it comes to raising those inconvient children.

The explosion of women into the job market since the 1960’s has been a huge cheap labor pool for corporations and manufactures. It has helped suppress wages for over 50 years.

The biggest fly in the anointment to product has always been pregnancies and unscheduled absents due to family issues.

So what is the most economical business solution? Keep them from getting pregnant and keep them from having families. Problem solved.

Now you have a reliable workforce and an established working class. All in the name of EQUITY.

Yea Team! Now, keep working drone.

And if you want to discuss “Movements”, consider the Mother of the Abortion Movement, Margret Sanger and her [racsist] thoughts on eugenics and the Black Communities at the turn of century.

Just some food for thought if you’re looking for a broader perspective.
