“I feel like the word shatter.” “Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” “Ignoring isn't the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”“Whatever is silenced will clamor to be heard, though silently.”The Handmaid’s Tale quotes/by Margaret Atwood.
For the women living in the Christian American Nation States, whose legislatures are compromised by Evangelical Jihadists, like Texas, Kansas, Georgia and soon to be Missouri and Louisiana; places where Incest, Rape are considered a gift from God, and a prize you receive as a female, on this Mother’s Day I wish you courage. Your rights a human, as an American who happens to be female, are diminishing, and unlike many women before you, you will be faced with imprisonment, maybe death if decide not to be forced to take on both the beauty and challenges of Motherhood. You must remain pregnant, it is NOT your choice to bring a fetus, not created from love but from brute force to term. But then for the women of the Christian Jihadist States of America, it will SUDDENLY be your responsibility to feed, clothe, educate and nurture that child because Jesus only is concerned you carry the seed. Pull yourselves from your own bootstraps after that!
“Blessed be the fruit,” is the common greeting, which elicits the answer, “may the Lord open.” The expected farewell, “Under his eye.” Any expressions of positivity are met with, “Praise be.” When Offred meets the man whose children she's assigned to bear, he says, ”Nice to meet you.”The Handmaid’s Tale quotes/by Margaret Atwood.
We send greetings of joy and love to our mothers and the women we have grown to love who had decided to become pregnant and embrace motherhood. We watch with honor the freedom of choice for couples, same-sex or opposite sex, or single women to say I am ready to bring a new life into this world. But that naiveté is too quickly becoming the THING of the past. In the Christian American Nation States, whose legislatures are compromised by Evangelical Jihadists, like Texas, Kansas, Georgia and soon to be Missouri and Louisiana; places where Incest, Rape are considered a gift from God, your choice NO longer counts. Your Father, Your Brother, Your Grandfather, or the man grabs you and drags you in the alley, or breaks down your door, your office co-worker CAN Rape you, and decide that Motherhood suits you just fine. And if you do not permit a “Praise Be”, permitting him to co-parent your child, establish legal rights to the bastard child, you will these Evangelical Christians God of choice permit the government to take your life from you!
The imagined future of women and men who at one time were considered fiction/science fiction authors are now coming to fruition in a society that is decomposing quickly and drowning in a quicksand of religious fanatics and hypocrites.
