I think you’re on to something there. I think we see this more in in our immigration laws which inherently creates two classes of workers, and in our tendency to imprison people, guaranteeing that they will make low wages for life, but no doubt there’s some space in this argument for that as well.

They don’t care, because it’s not about policy. It never was.

I know they don’t care now, but dead babies make the news. Feet need to be held to fire of their own making.

Is there a common element in banning abortion and leaving a new mother out to dry? Sure and that’s where people should focus. Both put women “in their place”. No one’s going to admit that though. Instead you’ll get “we need to find a way to get women off not on”…an inane platitude that disregards the problem and OK’s crapping on women or “we need to improve education” from the folks running a state that’s consistently in last or near last place in education. And has NEVER tried to fix that.
There’s a common element. Seeing women as chattel that must toe the line and a cruel disregard for their humanity and the humanity of their children. That’s where the truth is.

In this case it’s Mississippi. A state that’s been in chaos for 150 years and the chaos makers are doing just fine. The state is poor, uneducated and provincial. As long as there’s some cold Bud Lite around and the swamp cooler is running …all’s OK. Just like every other place in America Mississippi is the way it is because the PEOPLE there allow it to be that way and vote for it to be that way.

You’d think that Mississippi would be one of the happiest and most productive states with its conservative policies. Instead it is a cesspool of poverty. Conservatives cry “Freedom!” while the politicians engage in hatred and control. The result is poverty and ignorance.

Dead women. Many dead women, unfortunately.

The nexus between forced birth and white supremacy hasn’t been hammered far enough home. What made the prior House Speaker Paul Ryan moderate, compared to that Buffalo terrorist, was that Ryan didn’t differentiate white women owing an uncompensated duty to their race, to maintain and grow the white population. Ryan simply maintained that all women owe the uncompensated debt of reproduction to their country. Ryan was too woke for the Republican Party.

They’ll get to that right after they care about gun control after the latest mass shooting.

insert joke about how Ira came about (here)
children also keep single mothers poor and desperate so they don’t demand higher wages and stay in their cruddy service jobs
Sen. Tim Scott has an opinion piece in WaPa saying his single mother of two worked 64 hours a week at a job to support her two sons. He describes how she would work 3 16 hours days and 2 8 hour days as a nursing assistant. Tim was born in 1965. I wonder how much her salary then would be now in 2022. And would she even be able to get 64 hours in the pre-pandemic job market? Nor does he mention who looked after him and his brother when Mom was at work.
