The idea that America was once ‘great’ is utterly self-serving jingoism, and the proposal that it should be made ‘great’ *again* piles Pelion upon Ossa. The attributes of America’s ‘greatness’ were for the most part exercises in imperial brutality and self-serving power.

Anti-abortionists don’t care about children. They care about births, and the right of the state to encumber the reproductive organs of women which are not at all the same thing.

If they put as much energy into struggling to ensure that everyone born got the best of all possible worlds, you might see their desire to encourage the state to encumber the reproductive organs of women as simply misguided rather than misogynistic.
