It's easy to laugh at the right-wingers, but the truth is that this is the way power is measured by the patriarchy - control over other people's bodies.

It doesn't matter if this power is obtained through the use of laws, money or physical violence (it's usually a combination of all three) - it's the power that matters, and the patriarchy doesn't care how it makes you look to the people you have that power over.

This is my favourite response to this "your body my choice" thing: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113445007601304089

Ok. So on the one hand, people want to tell women they're forced to have babies.

On the other hand people want to tell that first hand to fuck off.

So I have a solution. If they want to force women to have a baby, then that woman gets to choose if a man who voted against abortion gets his testicles forcibly chopped off.

It's not a win/win, it's more like a lose/lose. But we haven't had any nukes dropped since the MAD doctrine went into effect.

So, if a woman wants to have an abortion, they'll call a man who voted against abortion. If he still says no, the woman has to have the baby, and the mans testles are copped off. Not even like a seditive, and sterile process. They instead take the man to the woman as she's giving birth, and she's given a meat cleaver. His balls are presented on a cutting board, and as she's in as much pain as childbirth brings, that's when she's allowed free reign to chop, and stab, and go nuts on his nuts.

Or he could just say "let her have an abortion", and avoid the whole scene.

It's not a win/win, but it's an even trade.

I love the funny pages.
