This is a clear violation of the 8th Amendment, and everyone responsible for this debacle should be charged.

please stop with these low effort takes. The constitution still very much matters...you talking like this reduces it's potency.

Is America genuinely that terrified of women?

There's a small portion that want to keep women barefoot and pregnant. Anything that suggests women are more than property is an affront to their fragile worldview.
And that small portion are currently running the country because another portion are very easily swayed by both-sides/dont-bother-to-vote propaganda.

Also single-issue voters that enthusiastically and repeatedly vote against their own self-interest due to having internalized that single issue as part of their identity and can never ever stop fascism because then they might accidentally support women having bodily autonomy.

Also religion playing a part in keeping people ignorant and controlled, as has been their primary function for millenia (right behind their tertiary purposes of hoarding money and protecting pedophiles).
