Another told me that the attacks on reproductive freedom aren't *really* about taking a women's autonomy, but about getting corporatists in office.

Wow, that's a new one. Maybe, if you draw some logical conclusions about women's inability to participate in the workforce due to being barefoot and pregnant all the time..... The way I see it is men holding on to patriarchal power by force and bullying. They can't handle the competition. Again, life is a zero-sum game to them and they think that allowing women full autonomy somehow reduces them.
