In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian nightmare, The Handmaid’s Tale, women who test positive for fertility are transported in trucks marked “LIVESTOCK” to serve as birth surrogates (“handmaids,” aka BROOD MARES) for elite women who have been made infertile by all the pollution in the water.
The fact that Alito referred to the need to provide a “domestic supply of infants … available to be adopted” (his exact words, from page 34 of the decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization) shows their real purpose: they want to force poor women to become BROOD MARES for the rich to provide a domestic supply chain for women wanting to adopt. (Note: Betsy DeVos runs a for-profit adoption service, Bethany Christian services.) This is not about forcing ten-year-old girls to raise babies they are unprepared for. Sure, they would force a ten-year-old to bear a child, but they would never let her keep it. They would give it to someone “more deserving.”
Not a coincidence that Amy Coney Barrett is active in the Indiana-based conservative Catholic charismatic cult “People of Praise” in which the highest level to which women can attain is “handmaid,” which she achieved. “People of Praise” is kind of like a female counterpart of the ultra-conservative, dogmatic cult “Opus Dei” for men. The cult was one of the models used by Atwood in constructing her story (technically, Atwood’s model was the New Jersey-based charismatic Catholic cult affiliate “People of Hope”). After The Handmaid’s Tale became popular, the cult changed that title from “handmaid” to “woman leader.”
The fact that Alito cites (page 17) as authorities two 17th century British judges (Matthew Hale and Edward Coke) who sentenced women to death as accused witches and argued that husbands have a right to rape their wives (property) demonstrates the mentality we are dealing with here.
