“I’m talking bumper stickers, huge donations to the DNC, and my secret weapon; a lawn sign that says ‘In This House We Support Women.’ And that sucker will be prominently displayed every day when the wind is pretty calm. But that’s not all, I’m going to vote even harder than I’ve been voting this whole time, and I might even put something about it in my Twitter bio.”
—Liberals vow to put signs in front yard until abortion rights restored
The most empowering way to take control of your life is to have full bodily autonomy.
Politicians know it, churches know it, misogynists know it. That is why they don’t want us to have it.
Former junkies and ex-convicts who find Jesus want to control our lives because they were never able to control their own.
Politicians and church leaders want to control our lives for money and power.
People raised in the church who are brainwashed have been controlled their whole lives and think everyone else should be controlled, too.
It’s all about control. They hate it when they can’t control you.
It’s not about babies, regret, god, the sanctity of life, any of that eternally-repeated nonsense. Even if they say it is and genuinely believe that it is, it is still all about control.
