Yall I'm so passionate about this because how politically and legally dangerous all this is. We so unskilled at strategy and implementing a long-term plan it's alarming. This is way the fascist are winning. TLDR: Be careful who you choose to defend.
This is the Trojan horse of all cases if I've ever seen one. We do not want to have the legal and political compatancy of women being called into question during this Administration and Supreme Court. Roe v Wade was first implemented under the idea of equal privacy. Essentially the decision was, Any America (Regardless of gender.) should be able to see, speak, and receive treatments from their medical provider they believe is best for them without political and social scrutiny. That protection has been removed allowing the government to know about what you and your doctor are doing. We are increasing the gender differences as seen by the law; and that is catastrophic for women. Outside of Transwomen, men are not currently going to the doctor for anything seen as illegal. (Not trying to deminish Transwomen as they are dealing with so much right now. RvW protected everyone.) Now medical information is in the legal interest of the government. Soon anyone taking mental health drugs and who have children can be monitored more closely. Add in Ai's ability to go over mountains of medical data. This is right out of the Project 2025 playbook.
Im just saying of all the parents to be in prison for harming their children due to psychosis; this women is the least deserving and the message needs to move past her. We must link the genders in this fight or it will be women who lose out.
