"An attempt to use the law to intimidate, abuse, control, and punish women. I’m just surprised they’re not even trying to be a little bit subtle."
2,000 years of patriarchy and its intrinsic misogyny have never needed to be subtle. Why are you surprised? This Mauricio Silva guy is not an anomaly. Verbal abuse is just as devastating as physical attacks and its effects last longer. This is why this form of violence against women is so prevalent and how it is easily excused as mere "angry words." Men control this narrative, of course. A physically violent man goes briefly to jail (sometimes), but a vicious loudmouth is merely "angry."
How on earth can he even have grounds to sue if his wife had the abortion when it was still legal? Nobody seems to be able to explain this, or even try.
And has any anti-abortion legislation ever been subtle?
