My gaze travels to Clara. She’s standing upright, tall and triumphant like a glorious goddess of vengeance, impressive with the thermos flask in her hand like a divine weapon. A sacred, powerful weapon—that old thermos flask my mother gave me several years ago. And then she yells at the top of her lungs, “You’re right, we’re women! And don’t you forget it!”

SCOTUS just gave abortion clinics a rare win
But more significant threats from Trump’s Department of Justice remain.
by Julianne McShane, 2/24/2025
"Abortion rights advocates took the court’s rejection of the cases as a win, albeit a limited one.
"Katie O’Connor, director of federal abortion policy at the National Women’s Law Center, said that while the organization was “relieved” to hear about the court’s decision, “anti-abortion extremists are now more emboldened” thanks to Trump.
"Last month, for example, Trump’s DOJ announced it would limit enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 federal law that prohibits physical force, threats, or intimidation against people trying to access reproductive health clinics. While the law has been used to prosecute both anti-abortion protesters targeting abortion clinics and abortion rights protesters targeting anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, Trump baselessly claimed the Biden administration 'selectively weaponized [the law] against Christians.' The new DOJ guidance—which says the FACE Act should only be used in 'extraordinary circumstances' or cases involving 'death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage'—reportedly has abortion providers bracing for more intense protests and fearing more violence. (The DOJ’s directive to limit FACE Act enforcement, though, does not override the legality of buffer zones, which are controlled by state and local law enforcement.)"

Emboldened ‘#manosphere’ accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election
By CHRISTINE FERNANDO
Updated 11:10 AM EST, November 30, 2024
CHICAGO (AP) — "In the days after the presidential election, Sadie Perez began carrying pepper spray with her around campus. Her mom also ordered her and her sister a self-defense kit that included keychain spikes, a hidden knife key and a personal alarm.
"It’s a response to an emboldened fringe of right-wing 'manosphere' influencers who have seized on Republican Donald Trump ’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring 'Your body, my choice' at women online and on college campuses.
"For many women, the words represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights.
“'The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,' said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin. 'Women want and deserve to feel safe.' [TBH, I've never felt 100% safe anywhere (except maybe in the woods), and always had items that could be used as weapons on hand. It sucks that things have gotten worse, not better, in my lifetime].
"Isabelle Frances-Wright, director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank focusing on polarization and extremism, said she had seen a 'very large uptick in a number of types of misogynistic rhetoric immediately after the election,' including some “extremely violent misogyny.'"
"Dear American sisters:
The times are tough but so are you
Never give up the struggle for reproductive freedom
Let your voices be heard
Your body is yours
Love & solidarity from all over Europe"

As is said, good thing we women simply want equality, not revenge.
We are not going back.
This is what I remember (and I'm old enough to remember). Abortion was mostly a Catholic issue, and the Evangelicals could give a crap. But then they realized that #RacialSegregation wasn't possible, so they decided to try and control womens' bodies instead!

How #RonaldReagan Helped #Abortion Take Over the# Republican Agenda
By Jonathan Bartho / Made by History
April 12, 2024 9:00 AM EDT
"Even as late as the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s #GOP prioritized cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, and winning the Cold War, devoting little energy to fighting cultural battles. But despite this lack of enthusiasm, Reagan was instrumental in empowering a cultural and social #conservatism with roots in the #WhiteSouth. This cultural conservatism now dominates the Republican Party and drives the war against abortion rights in 2024.
"Historically, the GOP was the more liberal party on abortion — especially given the #DemocraticParty’s strong appeal to Catholics across the North. That began to change in the early 1970s, as various states loosened their abortion restrictions. At the national level, a Republican shift on abortion first became evident during Reagan’s dramatic 1976 primary challenge against President Gerald Ford.
"After losing the first five presidential primaries, #NorthCarolina became a must win for Reagan. He entrusted his campaign in the Tar Heel State to the North Carolina Congressional Club — the political machine of Senator Jesse Helms. A former Democrat, Helms had only joined the GOP six years earlier. He and his lieutenants devised a campaign centered on social and cultural issues, and Reagan stunned the incumbent president by six points.
"The victory rescued Reagan's campaign, and demonstrated his popularity with southern conservative voters, donors, and strategists — many, like Helms, recently converted Democrats — who relished Reagan’s anti-statist rhetoric and despised Ford as an establishment moderate. As his campaign struggled to break through in the North, it was southern support that propelled Reagan all the way to the party convention in Kansas City. His Southern success gave Reagan’s backers significant influence as the GOP met to select a nominee and draft a platform.
"At a pre-convention meeting, Helms and his allies formulated a range of right-wing policy positions that they wanted to force into the GOP platform. Alongside opposition to #GunControl and school busing to achieve #RacialIntegration, these southern Republicans demanded that their new party explicitly oppose #LegalAbortion. Reagan, though far more focused on economic issues and foreign policy, owed so much of his success to Helms and his political machine that he reluctantly green-lighted their platform challenges."
