First the GOP came for abortion. Birth control, surrogacy and IVF are next.

We were told that we could have high-powered jobs outside the home and raise children — cloyingly known as “having it all” — but we’d probably be miserable and the kids would suffer. (Men, on the other hand, continued to experience no such dilemma).

Then the far-right U.S. Supreme Court dumped Roe v. Wade in 2022, sparking mass outrage. Perennially ignored advocates and leaders like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer warned that Republicans were about to reap the whirlwind from women in the upcoming midterms.

Margaret Atwood's THE HANDMAID'S TALE is coming to life. A work of fiction being played out by a party that is so Anti-woman, it should be as obvious as the nose on one's face.
