All of us were told about project 2025. It eliminates basic functionality concepts of how America 🇺🇸 is supposed to be. Women’s health care has basically become the most unpopular aspect of our country. If a female doesn’t want the child, she shouldn’t have to worry about the government making the decisions of what she wants. Threat’s about abortion are currently part of the 2025 scenario. A woman should be imprisoned. The doctors have no guidance in this matter. Many women today have had horrific loses of children or have lost their lives, while trying to give birth. This wrong decision. I know from my own personal experience, what it does to a woman who miscarries. The state of Oregon, had to operate on me. I ended up with a hysterectomy at the age of twenty eight. Oregon didn’t have knowledge then to help save my reproductive system. My then husband could have cared less about what happened. His booze and pill affected mind was the only thing he thought 💭 about, plus other women. Our economy has tanked big time. Pharma is being tariffed , I wonder what is next. Faith, hope , courage, and strength of heart ❤️ will get us through 2025.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm surprised by the large number of young conservative women who are in key roles in this regime. Surely some of them have had experiences similar to yours, or know someone who has. And any man who has accompanied a woman through the grief of miscarriage should also have more empathy. Are there really no men in the regime who haven't been there to support their wives during that trauma?

It’s past time for American women to adopt the 4B policy that women in South Korea started. No dating, no marriage, no sex, no kids.

And they continue to call us hysterical and overreacting.

Maga women won’t have an opinion because they are ill

Informed and support this toxic patriarchy.

So sex will only be for procreation but just for women

Men can continue to rape and f anyone they choose and the woman will have a scarlet letter etched on her. Oh the good ole days.

“a woman with an English accent and a striking intellectual resemblance to The Handmaid’s Tale’s Aunt Lydia is claiming that birth control pills make women bipolar.”

Fairly certain that most, if not all, of the men crafting this manifesto couldn’t tell you how often women, on average, have a period; define an ectopic pregnancy or the impact of endometriosis (often treated by the way with birth control medication); could point, on a chart, to fallopian tubes, ovaries or the uterus; could identify where a tampon goes; could give an adequate answer to why women have periods to begin with. Which begs the question: if you don’t understand basic female biology, why you all in on something like this? The obvious reason? It ain’t really about sex. It’s about control. We women are so frightening with our freedom and our independence, and meaningful careers with no need for you or your stupid antiquated ideas that the only way you see to getting us under control is to put your hands in our underwear— metaphorically speaking. Or for real.

"In the video, a woman with an English accent and a striking intellectual resemblance to The Handmaid’s Tale’s Aunt Lydia is claiming that birth control pills make women bipolar."

That woman is Mary Harrington, prominent British anti-feminist.

Thank you for laying this out so nicely. I had read this was coming. I can’t tell you how angry I am with how shitty women are being treated.

I have 3 beautiful sons, but I couldn’t get pregnant was my problem- 7 yrs. Infertility treatments up the wazoo. Pregnant 3x w the help of those treatments (all private pay, IVF wasn’t widely available or widely successful), miscarried all 3. Treatment- abortion drugs and surgery. My first, I didn’t get in soon enough and I became infected. My 4th pregnancy was without help. We now have 3 sons.

I would have died under these dicks draconian beliefs now policy.

Are we really fucking going backwards? EH, that’s a big fucking NOPE! We don’t think so. Ain’t happening. No way. We are rising . We will fucking revolt! 🚺✊🏼🇺🇸

I’m one of those women from the college going class of the 1960’s who has also experienced both personal and political power over my body. As one of the first females diagnosed in Texas with endometriosis, I was first prescribed 10 birth control pills per day that came with multiple lectures by doctors and pharmacists that they were NOT for birth control but to trick my body into thinking I was pregnant and stop the pain and bleeding. The pills did nothing. So shortly after I married, a different doctor diagnosed endometriosis and performed a laparoscopy which indicated a need for more extensive surgery. My surgeon cried when he explained after I awoke from the surgery that he was unable to save any of my reproductive system as the endometriosis had spread and destroyed both ovaries, fallopian tubes, and my uterus. The surgery saved me from continual and unbearable pain.

What will happen now, 50 years later, to young women with cases like mine?
