If Republicans had their way, she'd be making the men in her party sandwiches and otherwise staying silent.

Women, racial minorities, and log cabin Republicans are a special kind of "do you know who you're standing with?" oddity.

But then again Jews for Nazism(Association of German National Jews) were a thing too, until they'd outlived their usefulness as misleading tokens and it was their turn for a train ride and suddenly they weren't.

If the Republicans had their way she'd be dead.

Nah, they need brood mares. Once they come for the other scapegoat groups in order of size from smallest to largest, then they'll take the women's autonomy, demote their tokens back to nothing, and make women second class citizens again, treated as children under the "care" of their fathers, husbands, and brothers.

That's the fascist playbook, you don't start with half the population, too much pushback. You pick off any potential resistance in order of the weakest, smallest groups first. It warms up their lynch mob and gets them into "git em" training with those that mob is least likely to have an "well I know some good ones I'm out" reaction.

But they don't even see her as a woman.

Not just "see her as." I've never heard of a transwoman giving birth. I'm a huge fan of niche edge cases though and I've heard of one accidental finding of an XY, assigned female at birth person giving natural birth. This case was mentioned in research that was studying a family that had women that were experiencing hirsutism.

And there are also plenty of cis women who can't give birth.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
