@normaowens7569 Agreed. I did the same thing, and reading it a second time after you become an adult, especially now, is a much harder gut punch than the first time, especially when government policies affect us personally. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is another good one. Also, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. Even if you’ve watched the series, reading the book is a different perspective. Plus, Atwood has said a couple of times, publicly, that everything in the book that was done to the women in the book has actually happened in some society at some time. I’ve always said that we read, or saw, The Handmaid’s Tale as a warning, but the Republicans read or saw it as a blueprint, and they all the men fantasize about being Commanders.
I also saw a great comment recently that was perfect: “1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale had a baby and named it Project 2025”.

@brett_rose The problem is with what they decide IS pornography. For example, they want to pass a law saying contraceptives are pornographic, therefore contraceptives won’t be able to be shipped or mailed to women anywhere. And, if they ban abortion nationwide, and some states still have it, they’ll call any medical instruments used for that purpose to be pornographic, so hospitals in blue states that still have abortion won’t be able to get those medical instruments shipped from the manufacturers. Theyll also ban the shipment of other medical instruments that are used for other, regular gynecological exams, like speculums, because they might also be used during abortions. They’ll shut down a lot of publishers because they think books for school age kids that even mention a kid having two fathers or two mothers is considered pornographic. There are so many other things that they will decide are pornographic that really aren’t related to what we normally consider “porn”. Think back to the Victorian Era or even the Puritan Era, and that’s what they’re going for. It won’t just be for books, movies or videos of people performing s*xual acts.

@normaowens7569 Well, a lot of women need what is medically termed “abortion” when it is not to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy, like removing remaining fetal tissue after a miscarriage when the fetus has already died, and has already been mostly expelled, and women are literally dying because of it. Also, the removal of an ectopic pregnancy (a fetus growing in a different part of the body than the uterus *the womb), usually in the fallopian tube, which connects the uterus to the ovary. That will always kill the mother if not removed, and the fetus as well, but it is still called “abortion”, and therefore illegal. We need to get the medical industry to change the terminology of those procedures that are not to end unwanted pregnancies but to save the woman’s life.
