US has effectively legalized forced reproductive slavery. A woman can now be legally forced to carry a fetus to term, give birth, and raise the child. The state won’t pay for any of it, and the woman’s family including the child may be forced into poverty.

Meanwhile a decision in the opposite direction has been made in Germany. In Germany physicians were not allowed to publicly advertise if they were offering abortions. Now the law preventing that has been abolished.
In my opinion this was well overdue. To be honest, I can’t quite fathom what’s going on in the US. Can anyone explain why the republicans are so hellbent on forcing women to have babies they do not want?
Capitalism demands an ever growing population of workers and consumers, a reserve army of labor. They have destroyed our living conditions over the years through wage cuts, soaring inflation, and austerity, and now they force people to have children to keep their inhumane and profit driven world running smoothly. US ruling class makes it hard to get abortions and contraception, and then provide no childcare or support afterwards. The working class are treated like human cattle whose only purpose is to make them money.
Welp… I knew this was coming sooner or later, but it’s still unwelcome. Now it falls to blue states to try to extend services to women in red states where we can. It’s still possible to cover many of the cases where a woman (or girl) is seeking an abortion.
I’m somewhat worried about same-sex marriage and gay sex. I can totally see some of the more conservative states wanting to push back on those. Maybe not so much contraception, that seems pretty well baked into our society that no legislature would pass a law banning access.
