The Heritage Foundation’s latest document, “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” was published in January, and its purported goal is to reverse the country’s declining birthrate.

See, if you can’t physically force women to have more babies, which is what abortion restrictions aim to do, you design government policies that pressure women into having more babies.

You cut off opportunities outside the home, you make the public sphere hostile to women’s independence and you create a system where the only viable path left for a woman is dependence on a man for survival. In other words, you drag the country back to a time when women had fewer choices.

Sucks the heritage fpundation has like a building and killing affiliated scum wont help or fix or prevent anything bad. Because of how easy it would be.

I'd rather die than be forced to be dependent on a man and forced to birth him babies.

Riot indeed.

Its really sad killing the fuckers doing this wont fix anything and theres nothing to be done.

Its just too bad making it so these people cannot operate or propagate in physical reality anymore is not a solution, so sad.

On the bright side, women had already figured out how to get around no-fault divorce. We can always go back lol

But this time the black widows will go to a procreation center instead of a prison, and their uteruses will be sold by the state or rather the contractor to patriot men...

The hand maids tale, but without a shortage on fertile women will be way more disgusting
