A national database of pregnant women with Trump as president: nothing dystopian about that idea, is there?

It would be, as Stepford Wives GOP senator Katie Britt says, designed to "help" pregnant women.

All this, and polls that may or may not be rigged still show Trump leading Biden in various states?

The Trump era is pulling back the curtain and showing us something that's deeply disturbing about many of us.

It seems that quite a few Republicans have watched 'The Handmaid's Tale' and decided: 'Yes, that's exactly what we want!'

Remember Senator Katie Britt, who delivered that bizarre, melodramatic televised response to Biden's 2024 State of the Union address? The one with the creepy 'baby-fundie" voice'?

She's introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.

"… The bill would also allow government officials to reach out to users for additional information."

I think I may vomit.

HIS "justices".

#Trump says he heard “the justices were on their game” during today’s Supreme Court oral arguments on immunity. #SCOTUS

Is it just me, or did today's #scotus hearing on #presidentialimmunity feel like a #HandmaidsTale flashback?!?

@lovelylovely and I wonder where those women want to live, once they choose to settle down and have kids.

It might not be in The Republic of Giliad, which these states are working to recreate.

    "Speaking in hushed tones and intermittently flashing a menacing smile, Britt—the former CEO of an Alabama corporate lobbying organization and the wife of a lobbyist—said from the comfort of her posh kitchen inside her 6,000-square-foot mansion that she understands and sympathizes with 'what real families are facing.'"

    "At one point in Britt's speech, someone edited her Wikipedia page to say she is 'a member of The Handmaid's Tale and not one of the good ones'—a reference to the dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood that inspired the popular television series by the same name.

    Many compared Britt to Serena Waterford, the novel and show's leading female villain."

    That's some platform, GOP Fascist Party: "NO SEX FOR PLEASURE!" Should garner a whole lotta votes.

    Via Adam Jentleson:

    Highly influential heritage foundation, which would help staff & direct a future Trump admin, literally said that a key conserv policy goal is “ending recreational sex.” they said it, not me. IMO we should take them both seriously & literally
