This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

21 fucking Obgyns were involved in her care. She was hospitalized three times before 9 weeks. This was murder, pure and simple - a conspiracy to just try to keep her body operating long enough to get her to viability.

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them

Lawsuits from men against the doctors who provide abortions to their partners illustrate that men understand abortion bans as legal codifications of their private right to dominate and control women.

This all looks very bad, but to be fair there's no direct evidence, verified by a court of law, that shows Donald Trump has ever committed sexual assault. [touches earpiece] Hold on, I'm getting some new information.

After resigning in disgrace, Cuomo attacked the women he harassed with vexatious, punitive legal filings meant to bankrupt and humiliate them, and threatened to sue them for defamation. He wanted them to shut up. At great personal risk, they didn’t.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.
