The Fertile Ground of Inequality: Birthing low-wage Workers for America’s Future

Ah, the sweetness of liberty and the fragrance of freedom! Unless, of course, you’re a woman living in the newly invigorated landscape of the American uterus legislature. Then, freedom might just take on a bit of a metallic taste. 

As per the new tune being sung in 14 states following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the pitter-patter of tiny feet is deemed more important than a woman’s autonomy. But hey, who cares about these minor inconveniences, such as control over one’s own body, when we can engage in a delightful, never-ending waltz of poverty and low-wage labor?

Here’s the grand plan that’s being beautifully executed: Instead of helping to eliminate poverty, our intrepid policymakers propose laws to ensure its continuation. What’s the secret sauce, you ask? Forcing women, especially single mothers, to have children they can’t afford to care for, thereby creating a promising future chock-full of low-wage workers. I mean, what could possibly be more patriotic than having more citizens toiling away in low-wage jobs, feeding the cycle of poverty, and supporting the economy?

And before you start on about the ‘horror’ of abortions, let me remind you that these policies don’t merely govern women’s choices. They quite literally endanger lives. We’ve already got women being sent home to go into sepsis because their non-viable fetus isn’t dead enough to be removed. The government’s stance? Well, maybe they’ll consider it once you’re knocking on death’s door, ladies. Doesn’t that just warm your heart with its profound compassion?

And oh, let’s not forget about the unlucky ones – those poor souls who are victims of rape or incest. In states like Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and the list goes on, not even such trauma can win you an exemption. Why stop at merely controlling women’s bodies when you can also force trauma victims to relive their nightmares every single day, right? Quite the holistic approach, don’t you think?

If all of this is starting to sound a little familiar – say, reminiscent of the days of slavery – you’re not far off. Back then, they stripped individuals of their rights and dignity. Now, they’re doing the same, only with a neat little bow of faux morality on top.

All sarcasm aside, the bottom line is this: we’re rolling back decades of progress in women’s rights under the pretense of morality. This isn’t a crusade for life; it’s an assault on autonomy, dignity, and fundamental human rights. When the ruling class starts dictating what can and can’t be done to a woman’s body, that’s not just an affront to women; it’s an affront to liberty itself. 

In a dramatic finale, I ask you to contemplate the societal results of these laws. Will they actually reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, or will they just drive desperate women to seek unsafe solutions? It’s an incredible system, really. First, you make sex education and contraceptives difficult to access. Then, when the inevitable happens, you punish the women involved, effectively trapping them in a cycle of poverty with few resources to better their situation.

And for those reading this who may find themselves in need of help navigating this harrowing landscape, know this: you are not alone. There are resources available to guide you through the process of accessing safe abortion services, even in the face of such devastating policies. For instance, the website I Need An A (https://www.ineedana.com/) provides crucial information on how to safely and legally obtain an abortion, despite the barriers being constructed around this essential aspect of reproductive health care. It’s essential that we stand together, share resources, and continue to fight for our autonomy.

In the end, these laws are not just an attack on reproductive rights, but a calculated strategy to maintain a steady flow of low-wage workers, many of them single mothers, who are trapped in poverty. It’s a model that benefits those who seek cheap labor, while at the same time providing a juicy bone to the religious right. Meanwhile, those with means will always find a way to access safe abortions, but the poorest, most vulnerable members of our society will be left to suffer the consequences. 

It’s a brilliant stratagem, really – if you’re a cisgender, heterosexual, white male who’s a fan of economic inequality, exploitation, and just a smidgen of misogyny. So let’s all take a moment to applaud this grand system that blatantly favors one demographic while trampling the rights and lives of many. Bravo, America. You’ve truly outdone yourself.
