'Your Body, Their Choice, Forever'
This is the giddy battle cry of the misogynists and white nationalists who are unleashed after Trump's election victory. We CAN fight back!
Your body, my choice. Forever.’
That was the chilling message that Nick Fuentes, the white supremacist, misogynist and anti semite Holocaust denier shared on X ( formerly known as Twitter) at 11:19 pm on Nov 5th, election night.
Since then, it’s been viewed 90.7 million times, ‘Liked ‘ 51k times and retweeted 35k times.
That disturbing Tweet epitomizes the result of this election in a nut shell.
Despite women already being relegated to 2nd class status in the 21 states with strict abortion bans, Trump - the man responsible - paid absolutely no price. In fact, voters rewarded him with his biggest win yet.
The convicted sexual abuser and convicted felon swept all 7 swing states and has collected 312 Electoral College votes versus Kamala Harris’s 226. Trump’s election was so decisive that he and his supporters like Nick Fuentes are gloating over the mandate that American voters have very willingly handed them.
Fuentes bragged on his X account that Trump’s win was a ‘TOTAL GROYPER VICTORY’. Groyper’s are Fuentes white nationalist, sexist, homophobic and fascist fan boys. That Tweet had 2.2 million views and 18k Likes.
Then, as if 51 % of the population that’s female didn’t already get his message on election night, Fuentes crowed about how much he hates women with this gem of a Tweet the next day:
‘I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank men for saving this country from stupid bitches who wanted to destroy the world to keep abortion’.
He was rewarded with 2.1 million views and 46k retweets.\
I’m sorry to bring these horrifying messages to your attention but as a woman and mother of three daughters and a son, I’m one of those ‘bitches’ that fought hard to protect a woman’s right to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions by electing Kamala Harris and also writing about the deadly harm of abortion bans.
Now, I think it’s important to be realistic about what women and the men who truly love them are up against. A tidal wave of hate against women and girls has been unleashed by Trump’s election and lots of Americans are OK with it., just like they were in 2016.
That’s when they elected him the first time after 26 women credibly accused him of sexual assault and Trump confirmed himself that he loves to "Grab ’em by the pussy” in the Access Hollywood video tape.
Now, Nick Fuentes is not the only hater advocating ecstatically that women after this election can be pushed back under the complete control of men.
There was a 4600% increase right after Trump’s Nov 5th election in the use of the ‘Your Body My Choice’ slogan well as the, ‘get back in the kitchen’ phrase, just on X alone, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.
Where are all the dads who should be outraged by these vicious attacks on their daughters? Fifty - four per cent of men got on the Trump voter train and while I’ve heard a number of men claiming they chose Trump as president in order to protect their daughter’s sports teams, they clearly weren’t nearly as concerned about ensuring their daughters wouldn’t bleed out due to a miscarriage or any other pregnancy complication.
And on the protecting girls sports argument, let’s just take a minute to look at some actual facts.
Only 1.3 % of the population of 13 -17 years old identify as transgender in the US. Let’s say half of those are transgender girls so that’s at most 0.7% of the population and most of those transgender girls are not athletes.
In fact, since 2004 when trans athletes were first allowed to compete in the Olympics, there have been 24,158 female competitors and ONLY ONE has been trans.
That means that dads and moms who claimed they voted for Trump to protect girls sports were actually only giving themselves an acceptable excuse to cast their votes for a misogynist .
Their daughters in the meantime have almost zero chance of ever having to compete against a trans teen girl on a sports team BUT they will be risking their lives and fertility under Trump abortion bans any time they get pregnant.
Deaths have already soared 56% for women in Texas while they were pregnant, during childbirth or not long after giving birth, since the state’s first abortion ban was imposed. That’s because doctors face 99 year prison sentences in Texas if they provide medically necessary abortions and D & C’s ( dilation and curettage procedures) for pregnancy -related complications.
Texas also led the country in rape pregnancies after the Supreme Court tossed out Roe V Wade. Women suffered over 26k pregnancies as a result of rape in the state within the first 16 months of the state’s abortion ban from conception.
I’m also being realistic about how hostile Trump will be to women and women’s reproductive healthcare despite his declaration that he will be the ‘protector’ of women ‘ whether the women like it or not’ .
On top of being a white supremacist and anti semite, Nick Fuentes, is a self identified ‘incel’. Incels are men who cannot find a woman who will date them and therefore they blame and denigrate all women.
You’d think The ‘protector’ of women would shun Nick Fuentes. But nooooooo.
Trump had dinner with him and anti semite Kanye West at Mar -a- Lago in Nov 2022.
So readers, there’s no time or reason to be finger pointing at Kamala Harris - who was a total champion for women’s reproductive freedom. That isn’t fair to Kamala and it’s unproductive in terms of climbing out of this dark hole.
Instead it is time for us women to stiffen our backbones and summon our inner Amazons - and get ready to keep on fighting to get our reproductive rights back all across the country.
Plus, we need to keep enlisting the support of all our wonderful male allies.
We can come back from setbacks. Women have come back from way worse before. Think of those determined suffragettes who endured prison time and forced feedings as they fought to get the right to vote.
Please standby, as I hear about organizations and leaders who have smart strategies to constructively organize to elect abortion -supporting candidates in local and state elections in the next year, and then in the mid terms. I will share all that information with you in these posts.
In other important election news, voters in 3 Red states - Arizona, Missouri and Montana - did pass ballot measures protecting access to abortion up until the viability of a fetus and also to allow abortions to save a woman’s health and life after that point.
However, Arizona and Missouri actually will legally safeguard a woman’s mental as well as their physical health while Montana limits the protection to only her ‘physical’ health.
But the big head scratching mystery here is why voters in these three Red states definitively voted to protect women’s healthcare and yet re-elected the anti abortionist -in- Chief Donald Trump who can easily end abortion nationwide by having his Justice Department enforce the 1873 Comstock Act.
The Comstock Act will prevent both abortion medication pills and the surgical equipment needed for surgical abortions from crossing state lines. Project 2025 is clear about Trump employing the Comstock Act for this very reason. It also lays out a plan for Trump to have his FDA chief simply withdraw the abortion pills and probably Plan B from the market.
So how did voters in these three states - especially women - not get the memo explaining that the state protection that they voted for can be erased with a simple wave of one of Trump’s little hands?
Sadly voters in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota rejected their own ballot measures that would have protected a woman’s right to an abortion.
And then there were the Blue states - Colorado, Maryland and New York - where voters cast their ballots to protect abortion access for women. While Nevada - now a Purple state - took the first step in enshrining a right to an abortion until viability into their state constitution but Nevadans will have to re - confirm that result in a second ballot measure in 2026.
I want to thank you, my subscribers and readers for your support of this channel. You may be a small group but you’ve been fantastic. A great majority of you open and read each of my posts and I greatly appreciate that.
Now, I’m hoping that any of you who have friends or family members who are interested in keeping apprised of the battle for reproductive freedom against MAGA politicians and the anti abortion zealots, will please share a link to one of my articles with them and ask them to subscribe for FREE.
I will continue to document the stories of women harmed by or who die from abortion bans. I will keep a running list of the women who have died.
Healthy American women have already died because of Donald Trump and his abortion bans. Women who would be alive and well with their families today except that they had the bad luck of experiencing a pregnancy complication in a ‘ban’ state.
Many, many more will die needlessly in the next four years.
It is important to bear witness to every single one these tragedies.
Thank you again for your support.
Bonnie
Thank you for honing our collective voice.
Thx Bonnie shocking/not shocking. I simply cannot grasp that this is the will of the people.
