1. I think

A new catchphrase for forced birthing and limits to abortion [below the general Roe v Wade restrictions (with minor wiggle room)] could be genesisocide (force birthing with the intent of causing genocide)

‘Genesisocide’ is also very chant-able and easy to teach to protestors

2. Those who support these outdated laws like to call themselves "pro-life"

But the truth is that without reproductive health care, which is happening now in many states, the result will be the avoidable deaths of women.

3. They accept or desire this

And I stick to my use of the term ‘desire’ there very strongly for some of them. Sometimes you’ll only see it as a smirk with their leadership at the pain being inflicted, because they think the right wing path is the only right way. They would not tolerate or have chosen a rapist as president otherwise.

His sales pitch is “if there wasn’t rape I wouldn’t be here to rape”

Leadership in DC cannot tolerate this any longer unless they are blatantly accepting a Nazi-herald-in-chief.

4. They obviously have a very poor grasp of history

Generations of women died when pregnancies went wrong without the medical care which is available now - which these "pro-lifers" are outlawing.

Not to mention that we fought a World War to remove the nazis - and won! But these right-wingers not only want to turn back the clock, but they choose to ignore the deaths that resulted in inadequate health care - and under the nazis.

5. They think they've already won

Much like… who would guess… the Nazis before the tide turned.

They simply do not understand that regardless of how efficient their mechanisms of suppression are their suppression causes uprisings and rebellion that will end it one way or another.

6. And their antiquated views are clearly in the minority

A group of women who suffered life threatening health crises due to pregnancy complications and were denied timely care are suing the state of Texas.

As for the nazis, needless to say, their views are extremely unpopular in a hard won democracy.
