Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

@rbreich It’s quite amazing to see this happening in supposedly the land of freedom. I’m seeing a nation in decline.
@DaniEhm @rbreich sadly Everything is commodified its another thing that has to change. My perception is change is happening at the grassroots but not from or for those at the top. I have come to believe we (humanity) have reached a stage in evolution, which our "leaders" don't accept, that of planetisation. The beginning of which has to be an end to the nation/sovereign state.
@rbreich I never had kids and too old for it now. Sorry, republicans.
@rbreich turning America’s underprivileged into slaves. No. This isn’t going in the right direction--we stop this by uniting and becoming the superpower we’ve been waiting for! #WeAreTheGuardrails

@rbreich this is obvious to anyone that understands:

GOP = Gaslight Obstruct Project

So whenever they talk about "pro life" they are projecting their own guilt for being anti-life". Their prime directive is actually pro wealth and their only way to achieve that is to take wealth from the many to satisfy the greed of a few.

In their universe, to paraphrase Star Trek: the greed of the few outweighs the needs of the many.

@rbreich And maternity units closing across the nation.
@rbreich It’s called creating a generation of low wage workers who must work in either the private sector or in the US Military.
Florida Republican's Bill Would Ban Young Girls From Discussing Their Periods In School

Rep. Stan McClain's (R) admitted that his bill would limit girls from talking about their periods, although he clarified that was not the intent.

@lmellman @rbreich

At least in Margaret Atwood’s book, they had the excuse of a worldwide fertility crisis.

Republicans do it because they’re аssholes.

@MollyNYC @rbreich ain't that the truth. Worse yet, it's nothing new. They've been after universal suffrage, social security, labor unions, and abortion since forever. That's what republicans sign up for.
@rbreich not just “control”— it’s about power and cruelty.

It’s the rise of the Chino!! (Christian in name only)
You may know them as,
“fake Christians” or
“Christians”.
@rbreich It's always been about control.
@rbreich The more ppl struggling means the more ppl that can be taken advantage of

@rbreich

For that matter, America’s infant mortality rate is a national disgrace—and has been for as long as we’ve been keeping records.

Does anyone think that would be true If these lying creeps actually gave a flying F about babies?

@mishi @rbreich

It’s also…

Racists worried that White women aren’t popping ‘em out fast enough to maintain a White majority;

Republican men worried that women are getting too uppity; and

Evangelicals jerking off over the prospect of sticking their noses into everyone’s bedroom.

@rbreich and it doesn't make sense, so I really think at this point it is sadism alongside the desire to control
@rbreich Next they will outlaw Vasectomy since young men are opting into getting them due to the loss of women's right
@rbreich It's a continuation of what began with Britain and the Dutch in 17th century, reached its peak at the end of the 19th century, and didn't end until 1976 (Portugal and Mozambique): colonization. Our so called elites and the complicit political class are colonizing us.
@rbreich why do American mother's have only three day off after giving birth? Because they care about the economy you European scum lovers!

@rbreich

These are also the attributes of what we like to think of as third world banana republics.

@rbreich

We're in serious trouble. Liberal (non managed) Democracy and the survival of the planet are in serious jeopardy.

We can't social post our way out of this.

The only way to fight this is to use political geography.

Leave your Red State and move to a Swing State.

@rbreich Shit, once legislation for death penalties for people who had an abortion started cropping up said volumes about what they want. And if that still didn’t make people understand, stories about women having to be actively dying before being allowed an abortion should have cemented the knowledge it had nothing to do with “pro life” but everything to do with forced birth.
@rbreich More women die in childbirth than die of the so-called "abortion pill".
@rbreich Corporations want more drones. Christofascists want more drones. The right has a 40-year lead on us.
