This isn't about religion specifically, although that's a convenient cover. It's not about fetuses. It's about white men controlling the bodies of women. There is a segment of our population that is not reactionary. They are ultra reactionary. They are the Rethuglican party. They are the white nationalists. They are most of the viewers of Fox News. And they will not be happy until they drag our country back to a time when white men could own women, indiscriminately kill Native Americans and keep black people like livestock. I'm not kidding. They really want to go back there. It was the time of ultimate white male privilege.
