Margaret Atwood wrote Handmaids Tale as a cautionary novel of what could happen in a theocratic authoritarian state. It is happening in Texas now.

Y’all, I live in Texas and I cannot describe how bad it has gotten here. You see the headlines, but the people who live here have turned into bullies. They’re combative about *everything*. This garbage from the state infects the people living here & it sucks.

The only part they left out is that the MAGA male(volent) misogynists will now be forcefully offering to implant their seed in their female patients. All female medical charts will be labeled as OfDonald. FFS. This fascist bigotry is abhorrent.

I couldn't make it through the whole movie. So many negative, heartless things are happening. I may be naive but when I was younger I just couldn't imagine this. Now it is front and center unfortunately. 😢💔

Yes, and instead of taking it for what it actually is...a novel, they turned the story into an instruction manual, just like Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm...how disturbing this can be? "Refuse ANY KIND of compromises that can harm you, your family, friends and neighbours anywhere". #Real_is_other

A cautionary tale is only a warning if heeded. Texas turns pages, not lessons, and now reality echoes Gilead. When rights become relics, history stops whispering and starts screaming.

R.T. Clown @rtclown.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

The book served as a cautionary tale, but for years Margaret Atwood carried a file of news, etc., clippings showing that all of the punishments and horrors outlined in her book were all taken from history. Nothing was new. All of the acts had a precedent -- meaning this can and will happen again.

"That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on" Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

JamesPredicts @jamesfromqueens.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Midwives are not licensed to perform abortions. It is well outside the scope of practice for a midwife. That people would go to this person for an abortion reveals the cruelty of the law.

2025 is looking like 1965 where back alley abortions were commonplace and women died or were mutilated for life.Texas is a harbinger of things to come unless the American people speak out and stop this before it escalates.🇱🇷😥

I’m in Texas. I know for a fact some women have to flee to California for abortions. Many of these women are in abusive relationships and having a baby with their abuser will make it harder to escape the abuse.

Monica Bell @mgbell54.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Yes it is & it’s going to lead to hundreds if not thousands of deaths. The government isn’t really pro-life if the mother’s life is irrelevant. The majority of women who do choose to have babies do so with Medicaid paying most of the cost. I live in Texas. I know.
