The Boleyn Girls.... chattel of the forced-birth Republicans
Tonight I was re-watching the film "The Other Boleyn Girl",
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Boleyn_Girl_(2008_film) ,
a perhaps historically flawed dramatization of the relationships between King Henry of England and the Boleyn sisters, one of whom he abandoned his first wife to marry, but later had executed... all while abandoning the Catholic church...
While the film had nothing to do with abortion, it had everything to do with women being treated as nothing but chattel, and a uterus, by the King and by their own family, who hoped to use their child-birthing abilities to gain position and power... and somehow that reminded me of the current political situation...
Do not be mistaken! Republicans and their stolen Supreme Court do not want to "take American women back to the 1950s". Oh NO.
They want to take American women back to the middle ages-- when women were nothing more than property, and their uterus was nothing more than a tool for all-powerful men to attempt to ensure their immortality through producing an heir... and the men who controlled them were 'all-powerful'-- ("the good old days" ?? as conservatives think of it)
Hell, a good number of GOP partisans have stated publicly how it was "a mistake" to have given women the right to vote!
(probably even a few candidates for office, although I don't have links for that just now)
To me, in this tale, Ann Boleyn represented anti-choice women-- she enthusiastically took advantage of her possession of a uterus, giving up her own body to the desires of a powerful man, in attempting to secure position and political power for herself (that's just my take on it)... but it did her no good in the end, and she paid for it with her life, when she failed to produce a male heir for the adulterous king... used up and then thrown away when she failed to satisfy the man's aims...
The King was obviously a Republican. They care nothing for the lives of women, only for their own power, over women, and everyone else...
The vast majority of Americans do not want to see women's healthcare go back to the state of the middle ages--- but a minority of Americans, mostly aligned with the Republican party, DO want it. I only pray that they will fail in the end.
