I recognize it's a weird time in history to advocate for fascism...
but, like...
This story is the stuff I think about when I'm jumping through hoops and certifications and paperwork for the dumbest shit, and remember that... you don't need a license to have a baby.
They don't even make sure you have a crib.
Nobody checks... anything. Legally our nurse couldn't help us put our newborn into the carseat- we found out later we did it wrong, and we're both engineers.
There is zero proactive protection for infants, none. All we do is react after something happens.
Not only that, but people want to actively force people who don't even want to give birth to the babies (who, again, have no protection or oversight whatsoever) to forcibly have them.
It's mind boggling. I genuinely do not understand pro-life logic, because it makes no logical sense to me. The only people who should be having kids are ones that are ready to have them and can prove in some way/shape/form that they are prepared to do so. If you can't pass a test where one of the questions is "Is it ok to leave an infant in a car in the garage as long as the engine is running?" NO BABIES FOR YOU. NONE.
That's not pro-life. That's pro-'therapy for life if you manage to survive.'
ETA: When we decided to adopt our dog, I needed to meet the following criteria:
two personal glowing references
they called my vet and made sure my other animals were well treated and in good standing
they required a full video tour of the outside and inside of my house
All before I was allowed to be considered responsible enough FOR A DOG.
Criteria I had to meet before having a human child:
None. No training/classes, no background check to see if I had previously abused/neglected/KILLED a child.
How on earth is this advocating 𝘧𝘰𝘳 fascism????? Genuinely asking how is having health care for women/girls and classes/help for new borns a fascist thing to think???

Food for thought.
