Fear Of Pregnancy
On one of her many social media platforms, JojoFromJerz delivers a righteous rant about pregnancy, after a notorious Republican suggested that women should be taught “fear of childlessness” instead of “fear of pregnancy”.
Dear Republicans,
No one is “teaching” us to fear pregnancy, but maybe, just maybe, you should ask yourselves why we might.
Setting aside the fact that it might be because miscarrying women are being forced to contend with sepsis or even die before they can get medical care, what else could it be?
Could it be that they’re afraid of bringing a child into the world YOU’RE currently building?
A world where you’ll let a starving child go hungry at school, let a 6 year old access a loaded firearm at home, or let an 18 year old future school shooter buy two AR-15s and more ammo than an army would need in the span of a few days?
Could it be that you’ve rolled backed child labor laws, armed teachers, banned books, whitewashed history, sane-washed fascism, encouraged discrimination, and stoked intolerance all while trying to impose Christianity on children at the same time?
After nine more paragraphs of similarly furious questions, this:
Young Americans are lining up to get sterilized as we speak. They don’t want to bring babies into the world Republicans are creating. And frankly, who could blame them?
The very idea of starving hungry kids and letting them get Polio makes most of us women, much like Ben Shapiro’s rather unlucky wife… Bone. Dry.
As for me? I’m still stuck on the authoritarian implications of “we should teach fear of childlessness.” What exactly would that sort of pedagogy look like? What goes on in that reeducation camp? Speak up!
