Questions: Society & Politics

ESPECIALLY with what's going on in the USA, right now... This, (to me) seems like it could whole heartedly, become a potential reality!! 💯

For those that have seen the whole thing, what do you think?

"The Handmaid’s Tale argues that legally controlling women’s reproductive freedom is morally and politically wrong. The suffering of Offred and the other Handmaids is directly caused by the Gileadean state’s desire to own and control women’s fertility. Certain details link Gilead’s goal of controlling women’s reproductive function with the political goals of the 20th century U. S. religious right. For instance, Gilead executes doctors known to have performed abortions. At the same time, one of the causes of the sharply declining birthrate in Gilead is the number of women who have chosen to become infertile. The Handmaid’s Tale argues that women’s reproductive function can be a form of wealth, a “national resource” (Chapter 12), in order to warn us that figures in power will always be tempted to control women’s bodies."

For those that haven't seen it, DEFINITELY put it on your "to watch" list!! 💯❤️
