now I see it. A greater percentage will grow up and choose MAGA, authoritarianism and misogyny and vote that way.

13. Or, worse, visitation rights in prison

"You are hereby ordered to report with your child to the Preston E. Smith Unit at your expense no later than 1 pm every other Saturday so the father can exercise his legal visitation rights. Failure to comply will result in your loss of custody and parental rights."

"Your Honor, the Preston E. Smith Unit is 500 miles from my house; can't you at least put him in a closer prison?"

"One more outburst from you, miss, and you're going to jail for contempt of court."

Laws vary by state, of course, but it's amazing how much leeway a rapist can have when it comes to suing for custody or at least visitation rights.

It's a sick, twisted mess, in my not so humble opinion.

the oligarchs who pull the republican party strings to be anti-abortion is because they are looking way
down the road and want more people fighting for fewer jobs to keep their costs down and their profits
up.
