The overturn of Roe V. Wade is a targeted continuation of the ongoing violence BIPOC women and gender non-conforming groups face.
The U.S., in fact has a long history of this type of dystopian violence; the non-consensual sterilization of Indigenous women to eliminate Indigenous Peoples and the forced birth of Black babies during chattel slavery to increase the labor force are just two examples of the war on one's #RightToChoose.
Comparing this to the dystopian events portrayed in the fictional world of #TheHandmaidsTale fundamentally reduces the pre-existing history and experiences of these groups.
Don't let this history be erased!
