I predict that starting next month, pregnant teenagers in red states will be removed from their homes by the state and placed in either foster care or group homes until their babies are born, then the babies will be removed from the mothers and adopted out with the assistance of religion-based adoption agencies. Because Handmaid's Tale was based in reality... and some in our country read it as an instruction manual, not a cautionary tale.
Note: the Magdalene Laundries weren't "group homes" or foster care, they were abusive workhouses and nothing like them ever existed in the USA even when we were a thousand times more christian than we'll ever be again. but this is /r/twoxchromosomes so we won't let facts get in the way of some good hysteria.
Deut 22:29 allows male feminists to buy their victims for 50 shekels.
Handmaid's Tale is historic and history repeats itself when we don't take heed.
Why do you believe this couldn't happen?
Come on now, there's no basis for this in reality. Without even diving into the legal hurdles or the legal and social ramifications, this sort of thing doesn't just start happening the instant someone takes office. People vastly overestimate the power of the oval office and underestimate the rest of the government's ability to sit around arguing and not get things done. People who actually believe this stuff haven't taken one moment to think logically. This is 100% terminally-online emotional thinking.
Oh, you're an "I'm a logical thinker" troll. All of this stuff, and worse, has happened in history. Some people may be over-estimating the speed with which things can happen, but "government is inefficient" is not a compelling argument for why it can't happen at all.
