We need a counterprotest based on the cast of Rat Patrol or The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. Or the Kolchak The Nightstalker! I get to be Karl!

Their costumes, coupled with their silence, were meant to carry an ominous message from Margaret Atwood's novel-turned Hulu miniseries about a world devoid of basic human rights for women.

I hope that Kavanaugh enjoyed their silence - I know that I did!

Those you see in the above picture represent those women who believe all women are helpless before men. They might talk a good talk, but in the end they believe women are inferior to men. How else could anything like the above even be conceivable otherwise. I have never met a woman who could let the above scenario develop without fighting it tooth and nail. And I do not want to meet such a woman. I want a woman who believes in herself and what she can do and stand for.
BTW, do any of you really believe women in this country would allow the above to happen?
And how many men would allow their daughter or wife to basically become a “breeding cow”? I figure I wouldn’t be the first to die when they came for her.
It is pitiful that such a asinine piece of fiction could even be entertained in our political body. If you even think that above has more the a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of happening, there are a few governmental lists you belong on.

The effort to imagine a society in which abortion is illegal as some kind of weird, futuristic totalitarian dystopia is so asinine,

The book actually did give a reason that abortion was illegal. There was a lack of fertile women and most pregnancies ended in miscarriages. When babies are a scarce and precious resource then killing one just because is unthinkable.

The TV show which does not even follow the threadbare line of reasoning in the book is apparently just plain stupid.
