Wait until they go after women who have medically necessary hysterectomies.
They already go after women, literally with legal persecution, for getting medically necessary abortions. Women dying for their control is absolutely acceptable in their eyes. I'm also convinced the reaction to this would be the same if her hysterectomy had been medically necessary.
Do you remember when trolls like this lurked in reddit DMs and on 4chan? You can outright openly say the most heinous things now and it has literally no consequences for you.
Medically necessary?
You mean those who we should just let die, lest they undergo something that would prevent them from becoming a baby machine? /s
Menopause is a liberal hoax by the Democrats.

These assholes have already made comments like a woman is defined as a person who can get pregnant. Which eliminates millions of cis women from the equation.
About 10% of women (or one in ten) experience a horrorshow called endometriosis that causes them non-stop abdominal pain.
Often the only way to really "solve" it is a hysterectomy.
They're literally just going to abuse a large number of women for something they never asked for.
The cruelty is the point, as always.
Small correction as one of those women: hysterectomy is rarely a cure for endometriosis. What’s necessary is a skilled surgeon fully excising every endometrial lesion, which are frequently places other than the uterus. If there are endo lesions on the uterus, it can help.
However, adenomyosis is commonly comorbid with endometriosis and can be just as painful, and the only cure for that is a hysterectomy. And the only way to actually diagnose adenomyosis is to do a biopsy on a uterus after a hysterectomy.
(I say as someone in the process of planning my second surgery for endo, with a hysterectomy this time because I don’t want babies and might also have adenomyosis.)
That's why I put "solve" in quotes. Even after a full hysterectomy, lesions can easily have spread to other organs. My ex still had endo lesions growing on her bowels after her hysterectomy.
But thank you for the more detailed explanation from someone who is actually suffering it.
Fair enough on your use of air quotes!
This disease is stupid. Before my first surgery I had six tiny little lesions, like smaller than a cigarette burn. And yet they caused debilitating, near constant pain.
I've actually heard some transphobes say that hysterectomies should be banned because the uterus is a vital organ that women need to survive
Terrifying.
