Programming human failure

The toxic masculine portion of patriarchy programs failure in fellow people. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry rolled out the red carpet for the private prison industry, which has handsomely supported him. Now Gov. Greg Abbott denies women access to equal rights and reproductive health care. Republicans cut spending on education, school meals, child care, decent pay, etc. – programming failure in about 20% of our children. The womb to prison industry that profits corporations and Republicans programs failure in our nation. 

The lies concerning pro-life stances rival the Republican lie that Jan. 6 was legitimate political discourse, Putin’s lie that he is liberating Ukraine and the Taliban lie that they will allow girls in school. We still embrace slavery. We are guaranteeing failure. We will know true pro-lifers when they stop owning women and start offering them $600,000 trust funds to provide for their unplanned embryos. 

Removing the Republicans arrogant hand of God from women’s access to reproductive health care is the first step we must take to address climate change, inequality and guard democracy.
