If you have not, and never will read the book or watch the television version, at least take a look at the summary of the plotline…….then think about the past year’s headlines. Compare the two, do a little forward thinking, and see if your skin starts crawling in response to what we are seeing now as women’s rights are being shoved back 50 years.

Let’s face it, there is more behind the celebration of the demise of Roe than just the religious aspect. A big part of it has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with figuratively smacking women back into “knowing their place.”

Yet, none dare call it slavery…….

One possible reason that none dare call it slavery... slavery didn't involve "figuratively smacking," slavery involved actual owning, actual beating, and actual killing.

You don't like the recent ruling and neither do I but attempting to draw an equivalence to slavery will lead to arguments that distract from the real issue.
