Conservative attacks on US abortion and trans healthcare come from the same place

Post by RedRosa »

Both anti-abortion laws and anti-trans laws are derived from patriarchal attacks on gains of LGBT and feminist movements.

"Be it through forced pregnancy or prohibited transition, the state of Nebraska now claims the right to determine what its citizens will do with their sexed bodies – what those bodies will look like, how they will function and what they will mean. It is a part of the right’s ongoing project to roll back the victories of the feminist and gay rights movements, to re-establish the dominance of men in public life, to narrow possibilities for difference and expression and to inscribe in law a firm definition and hierarchy of gender: that people are either men or women and that men are better."

Just another part of USA imperialism carried out the world over. I recommend the film the Coming War on China by renowned Australian journalist John Pilger to show what the Americans have been capable of in different parts of the world over decades and over various regimes.

The land of the brave and free it is not. I mean if some places are demanding atonement for what the Brits did prior to the 20th century, maybe they need to look at what the Americans did to the Marshall Islands (deaths/illnesses from cancer etc after weapons testing as, experimentations), Japan etc - all within living memory.

A nuclear war is not out of the realms of possibility in the current climate.

The USA has been as ruthless over many regimes as any demonised “eastern” country you could name eg China!
But probably not as ruthless as … Putin!

I think it’s very naive to ignore stuff like this, to do so is at the peril of future generations, even if one is not concerned for their own generation.

Climate change is looming too etc etc.
