What’s next, Thom? I have a feeling they (esp. the religious fanatics) will be bringing back Witch Hunts, Trials and Burnings (or at least some form of execution). Remember that a lot of Witch Trials in the 16th and 17th Centuries involved women who were midwives and herbalists who could give a woman a remedy for pregnancy. Even Benjamin Franklin wrote a guide for remedies, including a couple of herbs that could “restore menses”, which means, of course, abortion. I just read a wonderful book on the history of the Witch Trials called Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici, and I highly recommend it. The way we seem to be going back in time socially, I don’t think I would be too surprised to see that happen. Did you know that the Witch Trials lasted nearly 200 years (!),and they hanged and burned (along with tortured and killed in other ways) around 200,000 women? I know if I were a woman of reproductive age, married or not, and I lived in a Red state, I would definitely move to a Blue state (in fact, I did, in my 20s, even though this insanity was years in the future at that time, and Roe v. Wade was still law).
