Has it occurred at all to the Republican Party that everything they’re doing is actually hastening the day white people become a minority? Take abortion limits: it’s unfortunate but true that women of color are less likely to have the means to travel out of state to have abortions, while white women are more likely to be able to afford to get abortions. Cancelling Roe v Wade, followed by Republican state legislatures and governors passing restrictive abortion laws will simply end up with more babies born to Black, Hispanic, etc. mothers. Those babies will, in the normal course of events, grow up to be Democrats, not white Republicans.
Justice Alito’s opinion refers to a footnote about the “domestic supply of infants” being insufficient to satisfy the needs of the millions of women wanting to adopt. First off, the argument is downright insulting and ignorant, as though babies are some kind of commodity, subject to the rules of supply and demand, as well as dehumanizing. Secondly, the demand is overwhelmingly for white babies, the supply of which is unlikely to increase by any notable amount.
If you want to donate your organs, you must give permission ahead of time, in your medical papers or on your driver’s license. Basically, this means that corpses will have more bodily autonomy than women will have if Roe is cancelled by this SCOTUS. In fact, it puts women on a par with farm animals, with no say in in their own reproductive systems. Will women in red states end up on a par with the Handmaids, picked out to be the reproducers subject to the wants of powerful men? Why do I say this? Because the whole idea of cancelling Roe v Wade is really about controlling women. The men who are coming up with the laws controlling women’s bodies are on par with the laws passed by Southern slave owners, where the powerful men had complete ownership and authority over the bodies of the people they “owned.” Men passing these laws now want to put women on a lower level, subject to the whims of the (usually white) men who want to have complete authority over them. They can’t own slaves anymore, so have decided to substitute ownership of women to satisfy their sick egos. They yearn for the days when women couldn’t own property, keep her earnings, or do anything without the permission of their fathers or husbands. In reality, they want to enforce a Christian Taliban type rule over women. Can you say hajib?
Even though Alito denies his ruling referring to anything other than abortion, saying there is no right to privacy opens the door to revoking other rights based on privacy, such as gay marriage, birth control for married as well as unmarried women, and interracial marriage.
Now the court has accepted a case where they will determine whether agencies formed by the executive branch should even have a right to exist under strict originalism. If the court decides that only Congress can make the rules for agencies, or even decide if agencies should exist, can you even begin to imagine what would happen under a Republican majority in the House and Senate? Good-bye EPA, Health, Education and Welfare, Justice, Labor, etc. etc. etc. Steve Bannon’s wet dream always was to cause chaos in the federal government and it just may come true if Republicans take over in 2024 of all branches of government. They already own the Judicial branch. BTW, Justices are subject to impeachment (I’m looking at you, Clarence).
Another example of pure insanity: White males form 40% of the U.S. workforce. White supremacists want to throw everyone who is not white and Christian out of the country. Someone please explain to me how they think anything would get done with only a pure white, greatly diminished workforce too small to keep the country running that could not contribute enough in taxes to even pay for a few federal agencies? Not to mention that if there were only white people in the US you may as well say good-bye to the NBA, NFL, MLB, as well as many other sports. Are white supremacists all suffering from ADHD, an inability to connect actions to consequences? Do they even know how to think?
Bottom line, it’s all connected. Racist, white supremacists in state governments want to control women, thinking mistakenly that forcing us to have babies will increase the white population while actually the opposite will occur because they don’t know how to follow the results of their actions through to the logical conclusion.
