Pro-Abortion Group Pleads With Activists To Stop Referencing ‘Handmaid’s Tale’
15th July 2022
A pro-abortion activist group is urging protesters to quit making references to The Handmaid’s Tale, arguing allusions to the book are insensitive to the oppression of minorities.
“You can’t wear people’s real oppression as a costume. Throw the red cloaks away,” REPRO Rising Virginia said Thursday. “Handmaid’s Tale references turn a blind eye to the centuries of oppression people of color, specifically Black, brown, and indigenous women, have faced regarding their reproductive rights.”
So their opposition isn’t because such cosplay is stupid–which it is–but because it’s insufficiently Woke. So there you have it. It’s a moral imperative for ‘black, brown, and indigenous women’ to be able to kill their babies because that’s their ‘reproductive rights’. (I suppose black drive-by shootings of other black people are a matter of self-defense.)
Margaret Sanger is laughing uncontrollably (wherever she is).
