Oh noes Christianity is gonna put your women in garbage bags and treat them like chattel... Wait wrong religion... I was thinking of ISLAM
I defy the readers of that book to EVERY show me one time in history where women have been treated like they are in that book in a Christian society. They can’t.
The author of that book confused Islam with Christianity.
Even so the book is FICTION - Fiction means it isn’t real.
Roe verses Wade was an abomination against true constitutional law. Five black robed justices decided a “right to privacy” gave a right to abortion.
The right of life and death is a state level function. Some states exact the death penalty for certain crimes and others do not for any crimes. This is the absolute right of each and individual state. If you take the right to abortion as a function of right to privacy I would have the right to kill my wife or she kill me in the privacy of our home. This is insane logic as was the decision of Roe verses Wade.
I abhor abortion but at the same time know these decisions of law are the perv u of the states and not the Federal Government. When the Supreme Court rips the constitution asunder no one has constitutional rights as we at that time are but serfs to the Federal State.
I guess these idiot women didn’t read the book or see the original movie-in both, the young women were rounded up, taken away from their husbands if married, given to some leader called a “commander”-old enough to be their grandfather, then forced into sex with him and impregnated-and if born healthy, their kid was given to the commander’s legal wife-if it was defective, it was killed...
I’m pretty sure there is nothing like that being proposed by the Texas senate-those women are jumping the shark...
Considering that book was written in 1985 and how drastic things have changed since then (when even then it was hysterical fear-mongering of the Religious Right), I think this is incredibly stupid.
What do they have to freak out about anymore? They culture has shifted so far to the left that it’s a joke, because Christianity isn’t outright banned yet?

The real power women have by virtue of their fertility is to shape generations of humankind.
Just goes to show you all that these people don’t really have real jobs like the rest of us.........they have too much time to fool around and blab thinking up all this horse shit to do.
Let them have a real job and try this histrionic behavior and farting around wearing costumes and crap.
What’s the handmaid’s tale ???
“Women Wore ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Robes To The Texas Senate Floor”
Maybe they secretly fantasize about being forced to submit to an Alpha Male.
“Handmaid’s Tale” was one of the most moronic books of the last 50 years. Ironically, the people who most closely conform to her notion of “breeders” are people who supply children, or genetic material, to or for homosexuals.
Send them to Saudi Arabia and let them feel what it’s really like.
It is the penultimate example of liberal secularists looking at Christians of fear of a potential theocracy rising up to oppress everyone and create what Islam has done repeatedly in the modern world from ISIS to the Taliban to Boko Haram to Iran to Saudi Arabia.
In college they kept trying to force me to read this book in various classes. I can get through things I don’t agree with, I finished the Koran for example. But this book is just so boring I don’t think I ever got past 50 pages.
