      That was such total horseshit and they always knew it. And we knew it, too.

      No way those little weasels would tolerate women leaving to go to a free country or a free state to get health care they don’t approve of, either. That’s assuming they could even afford to.

      Otherwise, why even go through this bullshit of banning it in just certain states?

      All conservatives truly HATE and despise and loathe actual freedom.

        They don’t hate actual freedom, they just want the freedom to control others’ freedom and not vice versa, you know, like slaves.

          There used to be an article I’d link to that had a very long dissertation on the notion of Southern “liberty” vs. the Northern kind. Basically, the Southern kind of “liberty” considers things like property rights (and treating other people like property) of utmost concern, so much like what you are getting at here: the idea that others might have agency even if you don’t like what they are doing is not something they value, at all.

          BTW, it’s very interesting to see how you’ll see this manifest. The right went on and on and on about “cities burned to the ground” and the damage to businesses as a supposed counter to what BLM was protesting, which was the murder of people. I don’t think they even realized what they were revealing about themselves.

          I recently read The Unhumans, and IIRC, they made a big deal about how “liberals are coming to take your stuff”, too. Very instructive.
