This is the horror Republican laws are intended to inflict on women and girls - they are supposed to punish those who dare to deviate from the reactionary order and scare everyone else as a constant reminder of what awaits those who defy patriarchal rule.
This is the society the Right wants.

@tzimmer_history I'm reminded of that great quote about Conservatism:
It's rooted in a single precept, that there must be an in-group who the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group who the law binds but does not protect.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind,
alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it,
and there never has been."
~Frank Wilhoit, composer
