Forced to marry their rapist? It occurred to me as I was reading an OP

about "popp'n out babies", just how close we are to this bizarre scenario again (still, in some places). We have "politicians" (otherwise known as misogynist, woman-hating assholes) overturning Roe, denying women health care, insisting that women must stay in violent, abusive marriages, must pop out babies like human pez dispensers, have their menstrual cycles monitored, and have 19A repealed. It isn't too far from there to forcing women tto marry the rapists. The basic thinking is that men should have access to women wherever and whenever they please, women's choices be damned. I can see the incels having a field day.

Over the top? Histrionic? Exaggerated? I don't put one goddamned, woman-hating thing past these bastards. Not one.

When many of those State legislatures have women serving in them willing to vote to repeal their right to vote.

Talk about nuts!

misogynist assholes are talking about it, yes? Nowhere did I indicate that it is likely, yet. Once they abrogate the Constitution, do you think they would give a damn? The fact that it is even being discussed should frighten everyone. When I look at comments on political pieces on youtube, especially if women politicians are covered, I am seeing an alarming increase in comments about repealing 19A. The misogyny is disgusting.

Niyad is making a passionate case for bodily autonomy. But I don't think it's anything close to "nuts" for everyone to be concerned about losing rights.

If we don't believe that women are in trouble it's going to be a shock if they win, when they go on the attack and one by one strip away other civil liberties and rights. Some of which for certain other identifiable population groups within our country already hang in the balance.

They're already trying!

Having "women" in government isn't all it takes. That doesn't create some magical firewall. We need the right women and we need enlightened men with all other genders in America to understand this and support our cause.

Because liberty is supposed to be for everyone. And yes, that even includes non and anti Democrat knuckleheads who are trying to burn it all.

There's more than one way to fight for freedom and it's definitely not free.

I refer to my post regarding the fact that many, if not all State Legislatures, have women serving in them.

It would be "nuts" for them to vote to repeal the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. It will take 37 states to repeal an Amendment to the Constitution or add to the Constitution.

I refer you to my post about the naiveté about a magical female firewall.

Many others here could use more civics in their lives. Especially when it comes to knowledge of the Constitution and all the rest of Government from the top all the way down.

Has it now become state law in other states as well? Or was that only re-legalizing slavery?

Don’t laugh yet. Wanna bet Alito and Thomas would vote to uphold both?

Menace gets back into power. Alito and Thomas have probably already drawn up the legal justification.

and other non consensual encounters. Women will magnanimously not be forced to marry a “legitimate” rapist (i.e., a stranger of a different race or ethnicity), but a man from within the community who just wants himself a wife? Heck, that’s an opportunity for which any woman should be grateful!
