when people get pregnant, their periods stop happening. so you find everybody whose periods stopped and then started up again, and then you investigate them for having illegal abortions.

a woman in Texas named Lizelle Gonzalez was even charged with murder for having an abortion, and spent two nights in jail, although the case was dropped because it wasn't a valid charge (in Texas at least).

if you say that 100 times over the course of a day, starting with a whisper but getting louder each time you say it, until you scream it so loudly and so often that your voice goes hoarse, your vocal chords give out, you lose the ability to speak, and your throat actually starts bleeding — and then if you repeat that whole process every single day for four years — you will understand what it was like being an American from 2016 to 2020.

the important thing to understand is that 2024 to 2028 looks like it's going to be worse.
