THE REICH WINGED MAGA WAR ON WOMEN IS NOTHING NEW:

Dobbs Was ALWAYS Just the Beginning: The Worst Judge in America Could Outlaw the Abortion Pill Nationwide. And That's Not Even the WORST OF IT - SLATE

• "Less than a year after the fall of Roe, conservative activists are trying to put the issue of abortion access into the hands of a single man for whom no one ever voted: a federal judge in Texas named Matthew Kacsmaryk.

• In the coming weeks, there is a very real possibility that Kacsmaryk will single-handedly outlaw medication abortion in all 50 states, massively disrupting access to reproductive health care across the entire country. Worse, there is a substantial likelihood that higher courts—including the Supreme Court—will let him get away with it.

• [Plaintiffs filed a suit] in the remote Amarillo division of the Northern District of Texas... because they were guaranteed to draw a single judge: Kacsmaryk, whom Donald Trump placed on the bench in 2019.

• Before donning his robe, Kacsmaryk served as deputy general counsel at the far-right First Liberty Institute, where he fought [against] LGBTQ equality, abortion, and contraception. (He once said that being transgender is a “delusion” and scorned “secular libertines” who sacrifice children to their “erotic desires.”)

• Since his confirmation, he has gained a reputation as perhaps the most lawless jurist in the country.

Amid tidal wave of anti-trans legislation, Democratic states race to become refuges for gender-affirming care - News.Yahoo (dot com)
 

Like all things MAGA, these fascist start with soft targets and false flags then gradually move on to what they're really trying to do.

With abortion it started with late trimester abortions, then moved earlier and earlier, then the 'life begins at conception' ploy, and now they're attacking the morning after pill and (in some quarters) even CONTRAception. Any birth control being the ACTUAL target.

Or, they start with the widely OVERBLOWN notion that all of these under-aged kids are getting gender reassigned (relatively FEW), and drag queen story hours, and just like that, gay kids and adults (the actual target) are being marginalized, called 'groomers' pedos, silenced, erased, threatened, attacked and even killed for who they are.

Or they jump on the bogus assed notion that critical race theory is being taught in lower grade schools, and before you know it, advanced placement African American studies and black history in general (the actual target) gets banned, not to mention the corresponding jump in racial attacks and assaults both in and out of school because of their hateful rhetoric.

(Which figures since minorities are the actual target as well).

Then there's their BIG LIE about widespread voter fraud, upon which voters are inconvenienced and disenfranchised, polling places in minority neighborhoods disappear, ballot drop boxes become scarce or under attack, as is mail-in and early voting, voting on college campuses is quashed, and it becomes a crime to hand someone a bottle of water in a long *** line.

Not to mention, for good measure, the mfkrs are putting election deniers in charge of elections and passing laws to give themselves the power to overturn election results when, after all that ****, they STILL lose. Underhanded vermin that the are.

Kloster is also a member of the Federalist Society, the GOP pipeline for their far-right federal court judges.

He also worked for the Donald Trump administration and was once a clerk at the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

He's worked with religious right groups like the Heritage Foundation, while also tweeting, "If you don't defend child pornographers, we are only one step away from naziism."

Kloster isn't just some frat buddy of Gaetz, he's a member of the Christian right and Republican Party in good standing."
