I mentioned the sophomorically named Thomas More Society in July, when former Illinois State Rep Peter Breen was giggling at the prospect of arguing before the Sinister Supreme Court that pregnant women should be detained and stopped from interstate travel because they may engage in the soon-to-be unlawful activity of abortion.  

Before the monstrous Dobbs decision, Breen and the Thomas More Slavery Society brought lawsuits in Sangamon County (Their headquarters is in Chicago but, you know these religious freaks don't want to bring a case up before Cook County Judges) that Illinois Abortion Coverage Mandate somehow violates their "sincere" religious beliefs.  Breen of course, cited the almost as monstrous 2014 Hobby Lobby Court decision which allowed business owners to determine what employees can or can not do with their personal medical care.  Peter Breen is a grotesque but, he's far from the only one at this rightwing club of scoundrels as they've brought lawsuits in numerous states using the false piety and religious liberty to restrict the rights of others.

To wit: As the 2022 Elections conclude, the Thomas More Society is gearing up to overthrow the results of elections because Republicans are no longer certain their techniques for suppressing voter turnout and disenfranchisement provide them with enough "wins" so like all Authoritarians they've moved to "legally" challenging and overturning results.

"If there is a close election, it’s going to be up to us to fix it,” said Erick Kaardal, a lawyer with the Thomas More Society, a conservative legal group in Chicago, during an Oct. 27 Zoom attended by more than 50 people. “We’re the team that’s going to have to fix an election in Michigan, if it’s rigged.”

And how will we know if "it's rigged"?  Why if the Republican supposedly lost, it's rigged!  And how do we "fix it"?  Why simply declare the Republicans the winners!

The Thomas More Dead Women and More Slavery society started in 1998, when these types of groups got their footing on the coattails of Racist Limbaugh's powerful rightwing agitprop radio program, Newt Gingrich's Contract on America, and the birth of Faux News.  Since, then these groups have worked the Long Game, slowly eroding laws and codifying religious liberty arguments into US and State Law.  It's an insidious way to overthrow the US Government, and one which was working piece by piece, the kind of methodology preferred by long-time institutionalists like Mich McConnell and John Roberts. 

I hope you've already voted by the time you read this but if you haven't, go vote and take friends and family, because we're quickly moving to the the second stage of a pre-fascist Government in which election losses are overturned via court injunctions and bureaucratic legerdemain.  Thus, the fascists can point to "free & fair" elections as they move to the next step of permanently ensconcing themselves into Office, while retaining the facade of a democratic Republic.  

But, regardless of the outcome of the 2022 Elections understand the Rightwing isn't going to stop.  They've got their bloodlust up, they've got the 6 Unjustices on the Supreme Court, they've got their gerrymandered State Legislatures and they've got their sights set upon claiming the Whole Thing in 2024. So as I've written before get ready.  Get ready to fight for your lives, literally.  Because Rightwingers are coming for them.

Conservatives plan to remove the "Life of the Mother"

“The womb is the only organ in a woman’s body that serves no specific purpose to her life or well-being. It is truly a sanctuary.” Republican Brad Tschida, Montana State House Leader 

Women have no rights Republicans are bound to recognize.  Woman are naught but "Earthen Vessels" created by their Christofascist god.  

It hasn't even been a month since the Sinister Six Injustices of The Supremacist Court determined their bigoted fanatical religious beliefs trump the right to privacy, medical care, life and liberty of Americans but, while the "ink isn't even dry" conservatives are rapidly trying to muddy the legislative water and proclaim the plain meaning of the anti-abortion black letter law they've passed in numerous states doesn't actually mean what it clearly means.

To wit: Republicans will use the full power of the government to enact a Nationwide complete and total ban on all Abortions.  Until then expect

a lot of disingenuous statements and outright lying by Republicans for the next 4 months as the right tries to diminish the pushback in 2022 and minimize any potential electoral defeats.  After the election Rape-pubicans will make outlawing medical procedures for Women and interstate travel for women their priorities, and pass all sorts of coercive, invasive, and destructive "laws" possible to curtail Abortion 100%.  Whatever happens to the women impacted by these draconian measures is immaterial and I don't mean just medical care for pregnancy as these immoral and illegal laws passed by Rape-publicans are harming women seeking care for other medical issues.

"The answer is there has to be some form of punishment," Trump May 2016

Over the July 4th weekend, before Trump loving Republican Bobby Crimo murdered people, stubby pustule Peter Breen was chortling through an interview on WBEZ weekend edition.

Breen, a former Illinois Republican state Representative, was asked about women crossing state boundaries to pursue needed medical care.  You see under the Privileges and Immunities clause of the Constitution and nearly 200 years of established precedence case law, the ability to travel between states can not be infringed.  

Breen laughed and said his organization, the Chicago-based Thomas More Dead Women Society was working on bringing up possible challenges to make it to the Sinister Six Injustices of the US Supremacist Court.  You see, Breen replied, it's all about how you frame the issue.  Simply declare that juveniles can not be brought across state lines for illegal purposes and et voila you can now restrict the freedom of movement for women through the power of government.  Imagine DUI checkpoints repurposed for pregnancy checks at state borders for all women in cars.  Or requiring recent negative blood tests before being able to book a plane ticket.  Crotch sniffing K-9 Officers trained to smell menstrual blood stationed by trains at Ogilvie and Union Station in Chicago.

One of the most glib, galling, and insulting techniques conservatives adopted was the appropriation fo the name of some historical figure whom as the avatar of their bigoted group.  The Susan B. Anthony rightwing anti-abortion group, for instance.  Thomas More has nothing to do with US Law and his stupid 16th century book Utopia would be a far more dour, drab, and dull communist Nation than ever created in world history.  But, dumb ass conservatives don't know anything about Thomas More other than the wretched 1968 film Man for All Seasons, so Breen and other Fundigelical wackos claim his historical gravitas for themselves. 

Republicans are going to use the full coercive force and punitive power of Government, at all levels, to control, punish and dominate women.  Conservatives hate women and will do everything in their power to reduce women to nothing but birthing slaves as they continue to lay the foundation for the Fascist Fundamentalist Racist Slave Nation.  The reality is given enough political power and ignoring all pushback, Rape-publicans will outlaw all Abortions in all Circumstances and if it kills a woman or a little girl then that's it.
