Excellent newsletter that highlights the systemic problems government has when dealing with women and children, especially when they are non-white. Gender "burdens control women’s bodies and reproduction, via abortion policy, their care labor, and social welfare policies. Such burdens are not disconnected, but reflective of how burdens are used as tools to regulate and control women, especially racially marginalized women, including whether they have children and the family structures in which they have them." These sentences succinctly sum up the issues. It should also be remembered that these burdens have been put into place by men, mostly white men, who do not directly suffer the consequences of their laws and policies. Most of our lives are controlled by others but we need to remember the importance of voting. Results aren't immediate but don't forget, it took a long time for the radical Republicans to overturn Dobbs. We have to persist.
