"a disconnect here between a largely silent but very powerful group and a group of poor and desperate," great point. the handmaid's tale come to life? or maybe a slippery slope where child protective services mine the data and determine that a poor child is "endangered" and then sent off to live with daddy warbucks? or to a state-sponsored enterprise somewhat less comfortable than daddy warbucks' mansion? i can think of a few.
Thanks for the link! Great article and I really liked this paragraph:
"That does not mean that an unintended pregnancy is ever easy — but it does mean that the circumstances that made Roe seem obviously needed, have changed; in such a way that state by state legislation can reflect local norms and values in 2022, more accurately than can a one-size-fits-all national decree predicated on the presumption of absolute female helplessness that was a reality fifty years ago but that is no longer the case."
Great article thank you
