The Margaret Atwood vision of the USA continues to become more & more prescient.... we are seeing the Handmaidenisation of the USA.
What was once science fiction is now public policy.... and in the UK there are people f the right who no doubt see this sort of move as entirely justified pronatalsm.
@ChrisMayLA6 the whole point of the Handmaid's Tale is that most of it has happened to women already somewhere in the world at some point in time. Atwood is clear about this.
The sooner people stop holding it up as some outlandish misogynistic endgame perhaps the sooner we can make more progress against the reality.

@ChrisMayLA6 Piece says Tennessee has maternal mortality of 41 per 1000 (same as Mongolia per World Population Review 2026). Instead of bringing in measures to reduce it, these State lawmakers want the death penalty for abortion.
@ChrisMayLA6 these soft idiots are descendants from the racist trash that lost the civil war.. you should have taken care of them then.
@ChrisMayLA6
The War on Women will never end until we end the participation of conservatives in society
@ChrisMayLA6 Technazi bros have absorbed a lot of distopian sci-fi and soc-fi. They are true fans of worlds depicted. The only thing they didn't like was the endings. So now they are metcously working to change the real ending to one they deem happy.
@ChrisMayLA6
Science fiction writers cause a lot of trouble, people copy them like it's a blueprint, we should burn all sci-fi books. Especially fahrenheit 451...oh.
@ChrisMayLA6 Hang on, has the USA unbeknownst to me suddenly slipped back to the 14th century?! Sure sounds like it! #women
