I’d argue that we can beat them from any position, as long as we do it in unity.

Mifepristone, which we have known is safe for over 40 years, is apparently too dangerous but a 9 year old giving birth is a-okay how this quack.

"I behaved the correct way, and this did not happen to me. If everyone else did the same as me, they wouldn't suffer. Since their suffering is preventable, they cannot complain and must suck it up."

"See? I'm on your side. Treat me better than you treat them, please."

Misogyny is subversive. It's capable of being internalized. It is consistent. The ideology behind it is enforced in subtle ways throughout the entirety of our lives. We become accustomed to it, expectant of it. We are trained to accept it and be tolerant of it. Misogyny can seem beneficial to certain women, and those will readily accept it and become ignorant of the consequences it has for them.

Misogyny also doesn't exist in a vacuum. It exists alongside white supremacy, xenophobia, queerphobia, ableism, classism, and other forms of social oppression. Women can identify with and ideologically support any of those systems of oppression. All of them interconnect, though. Each system is built partially on the foundations of the others. They all affect each other. Being a white supremacist doesn't make you a misogynist, but those 2 things are ideologically consistent with each other. White supremacists tend to support misogynists and vice versa.

When we realize Misogyny not simply as a singular concept on its own, but rather a socially constructed one interconnected with different systems of power - it's actually very conceivable for women to be misogynists and actively participate in the oppression of women. They are able to firstly distance themselves from the group being oppressed using logic like "I'm an oppresser, I am not oppressed." Then they are welcomed into the greater sphere of social bigotry and systems of power. White supremacists uphold patriarchal households and white mothers, for instance. Xenophobic households uphold women and mothers from their nation and who share their religion. They are upheld not as a form of empowerment but as an example by which to compare others.

I can't say exactly why this woman specifically has chosen to actively participate in the subjugation of women, but it is a predictable phenomenon and, unfortunately, part of the strategy of fascism.

Wave enough money under some people's noses and they'll say or do whatever you want. True with doctors as anyone else. There's a reason why famous people can get all the prescription drugs they care to.

The issue with the high-paying medical profession is that it attracts 2 kinds of people: nice people who want to do good and help people, and self-centered people who want to feel powerful and in-control while making a bunch of money. The latter are the reason for shit like this. I'd bet that she doesn't care about children at all, and just wants to feel powerful, while raking in the cash from rich people looking to use her license to validate their terrible behavior.

Leaves me wondering if she’s not a closet pedo.

Anyone promoting or supporting child pregnancy are either a pedophile or a pedophile supporter

edit: added "or supporting" after "promoting"

has she an iota of empathy

Absolutely not. That is the fundamental issue.

Between this and all of the child marriage laws Republicans fight for.

Pedophiles 🤝 Republicans

Probably, and they'll act confused when they get the shit beaten out of them by said parents.

As an outsider I have heard everything is bigger in Texas, that seems to include assholes

"Abortion is against nature!"

Forces little girls to give birth via unnatural means...

Texas Doctor Who would be the worst iteration

Yeah, isn't there a review board for all licensed doctors?
