In order for capitalism to work, you need a permanent underclass of who people work shitty jobs for no or little pay and live shorter, shitty lives, and you need them to pop out babies—babies you've forced them to create and birth—trapped in the same circumstance.
Like slavery.
This is why you cannot overlook that the unenumerated right to privacy, and thus, the right to abortion, is enshrined in the Reconstruction Amendments.
Especially after the US banned import of slaves in 1808, it became even more important to cultivate a slave-breeding industry—rape and forced birth, specifically to make more slaves, since you weren't supposed to import anymore, tho it still happened (see: Clotilda, 1859)
There's already been so, so much hideous cruelty in forcing people to give birth and to see it codified and nationalized makes me sick to my stomach
I know what it is to be young and terrified and to feel like you can't talk to anyone when you need an abortion and everywhere you turn there is shame.
I know the pain of being a young journalist and internalizing the idea that your own body isn't objective and neutral.
I've told this story before, about going to work at WaPo the same day I started medication abortion down the street because I didn't know my basic rights as a worker.
I was too busy being scared that someone would find out I was not "neutral" and banish me from the profession.
