So red state women would be wise to pay extra attention to who you elect as your overseers: the state reps & state Senators who’ll make the laws governing your body, the governor who’ll sign or veto them, the sheriffs & prosecutors who could jail you… https://t.co/mVekvTMKD9 — PolitiTweet.org

And women will be sneaked out of these states to get care in free states, and will need to decide whether to tell their employer if they work for a company that has vowed to help financially, and risk the legal consequences when they get home… assuming they make it out. — PolitiTweet.org

Red states could monitor women’s mail and online activity to make sure they’re not ordering abortifacient drugs. It’s reminiscent of the ways enslaved women had to sneak natural remedies to abort the property they were carrying against their wills… https://t.co/EW6cXTxwVp — PolitiTweet.org

And doctors presumably will have to report miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies as potential crimes. https://t.co/PNAEON1iQ7 — PolitiTweet.org

They’ll need to have access to the most intimate information about women’s periods, which they could access by subpoenaing records from doctors or from menstruation tracking apps… https://t.co/UGbUC1MVYG — PolitiTweet.org

And the enforcement mechanisms for these forced birth laws should sound familiar, too. In order to ensure that every pregnancy must result in birth (or maternal death) state governments will need to monitor menstrual cycles, for example... https://t.co/399DQSo9J2 — PolitiTweet.org

And the result of the Alito ruling is that women are literally free in some states (with full bodily autonomy) and state property in others. And the “free” and “slave” states look a lot like they did in the antebellum period-as do the women who will disproportionately catch hell. https://t.co/QViIiWx12y — PolitiTweet.org

I mean… the “leave it to the states” argument is not different from the one slave states made before the civil war: that their “peculiar institution” was fundamental to their economic need for mass agricultural labor so there could be no national standard for individual liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

You do realize that to follow the Alito logic, Brown would be overturned and Plessy reinstated, since Brown is grounded in the 14th Amendment and Plessy cleaves closer to the status of Black people at the founding… right? Oh, yeah, duh. That’s EXACTLY your point and position. — PolitiTweet.org

@rolandsmartin is preaching a power sermon on @CrossConnection right now. We need a plan, and voting is the plan. It sucks, but that’s the only way. Nothing progressive gets through with just 50 Senate votes. And Biden needs to be more aggressive with executive power. — PolitiTweet.org
