Letter to the editor: Patriarchy and contempt for women

“Project 2025” is promising fascism by giving MAGA complete control. An existential threat to American democracy with an extreme agenda against female rights.

Child bearing is central to a woman’s life and it is extremely important for her to be in control of when she can afford to start a family. Heritage Foundation does not care that abortion rights and contraception are very important and popular in America.

If Trump wins they want to ban abortions nationwide, restrict IVF and contraception access (birth control pills) and allow states to track women’s miscarriages and still births.

They want to revoke the FDA approved early abortion pill mifepristone which is needed for millions of females who live in rural areas without access to OB GYN doctors. Its important to remember this drug is used for other conditions.

They drafted plans to stop insurance coverage for plan B (over the counter) “emergency morning after” pregnancy prevention.

Trump is responsible for over turning Roe and subsequent pregnancy horror. He told Chris Matthews there should be some form of punishment needed for abortion. Scored! In 14 states it’s a felony conviction.

It is outrageous that Pro-lifers support with-holding medical care from women experiencing a miscarriage, (in need of a therapeutic abortion) leaving them to bleed out on bath room floors, or forcing them to continue with a non-viable fetus.

J.D. Vance is a self righteous radical, and admirer of dictator Orban. He thinks women should stay in violent marriages “for the sake of the children.” He has a big Yale degree, but is intentionally ignorant, aloof and detached, violence against women can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. Exposure to domestic violence has a significant negative impact on children’s mental health.

The fixation to control those bad women that challenge male dominance; just dictate authority over their bodies.

There is an obsession with objectification, and sexualization of girls and women. Next up, they need to be controlled, policed and punished.

Trumps “God Bless America USA Bible” is a sacrilege desecration. A demagogue for him disconnected from scriptures and desperate for power.
