As the Supreme Court prepares to reverse Roe v. Wade under a Democratic president, house, and senate, it is clear that action at the ballot box is insufficient to protect #abortion. #Reproductiverights were not won by electoral means, and that is not how we will defend them.
Anarcha-feminist traditions of grassroots struggle and autonomous abortion infrastructure offer alternative strategies. As the anarcha-feminist Liz Highleyman put it in 1992, “the day when abortion is again made illegal may come sooner than we like to think. We must be ready to take our bodies and our lives into our own hands.”
Anarcha-feminists were on the front lines of the struggle for abortion throughout the 1980s and ‘90s. They were convinced that Roe v. Wade would not last forever and that they could not depend on the #state and the legal system to protect reproductive #freedom. Anarcha-feminists took a three-pronged approach to abortion struggle: defense of abortion clinics, construction of grassroots reproductive #health infrastructure, and an anti-state approach to building feminist dual power.

This Is Where We Are Heading...

A Salvadoran woman is jailed for 30 years following a miscarriage! Fast forward now to the USA, the state of Texas and Oklahoma.

This is not concern about life. This is punitive violence and hatred against women for one purpose. Power, control, and manipulation.
It is what Whitney Strieber calls evil, that is, *denial of the right to thrive. * If you can criminalize a women's body and make it a state function, you have successfully created state sanctioned slavery in this, the 21st century.

The authoritarians think they have the God Given right to enslave and criminalize women by claiming that even a miscarriage of an un-ensouled and unborn fetus is murder, no matter what the reason. This defies common sense and every form of compassion. Meanwhile there is no problem enabling 18 year olds to get assault weapons so they can murder the already born in schools and shopping malls. Talk about mentally ill.

Legitimacy of Supreme Court Has Been Completely Destroyed...

** In my opinion:
Behind the authoritarian mindset of Justice Alito, there is unadulterated rage. This is not justice, it is revenge and punishment. His "opinion" is the weaponization of the letter of the law to kill the spirit of the constitution. The supreme court has lost all credibility as a result and become a tool of the authoritarian mindset to impose its will on society, regardless of the cost. Abortion is not about protecting life, it is about protecting white power and privilege while imposing a new American theocratic Taliban. **

Opinion | Samuel Alito: One Angry Man

The conservative Supreme Court justice is furious with the pace of social change — and poised to do something about it on Roe and much more.

Father Who Sued To Keep His Adult Daughters From Getting Birth Control Wins Key Court Fight

…it would be a truly extraordinary expansion of #American #religiousLiberty #law. A law intended to give religious objectors personal exemptions to #laws they oppose would instead permit those objectors to impose their #beliefs on thousands — potentially even millions — of #individuals who do not share those beliefs.
