Adventures in the Patriarchy™: Anti-ICE Karens Gone Wild! Part XIX

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgender individuals — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Anti-ICE Karen kindly admits that insurrection is all about abortion rights

One would be hard-pressed to underestimate the time and energy that Karens devote to daydreaming about abortion.

Even in contexts such as immigration enforcement in Minnesota, which has nothing ostensibly to do with abortion rights, they will find a way to make it about the revocation of their sacred abortion rights by the Patriarchy™ three years ago.

This one was kind enough to say out loud what any Karenologist worth his salt — whether amateur or professional, as I am — has long understood: their rage at the state since 2022 has been predominantly, but obviously not exclusively, the result of the taking away of their sacred right to abortion via the Dobbs decision.

I have figured out though, like, why they're so mad at, they’re so scared of liberal women and, like, why we’re so activated is ‘cause we’re like, we’ve been waiting for this fight forever. Like, finally, like, all the stuff we stomached, Roe vs. Wade being overturned, like all the BS of how, like women’s rights and our bodies and our autonomy and, like, no fault divorce. We have been stewing for years. It’s in our blood, centuries. So yeah, we’re, I guess we’re a dog with a bone. We're not letting it go. And women who are angry and have been angry for a while, they’re angry. I’m so mad and excited.

The feigned concern over illegal immigration provides the plausible excuse to riot in the streets when, all along, it’s been about their favorite thing in the world, which is snuffing out (white, in particular) babies in the womb before they have a chance to pollute the world with their whiteness.

Yes, it’s true that black women disproportionately commit abortion — at 4.3 times the rate of white women, in fact.

However, this is an occurrence based on a confluence of historical and cultural factors, including the fact that Planned Parenthood was founded by avowed eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who infamously pitched her agenda to the KKK in explicitly racist terms.

This is obviously inconvenient to the intersectional feminist coalition the Social Justice™ movement has cobbled together, which is why Planned Parenthood has gone to great lengths to try to explain away its founding alignment with the most notorious white supremacist organization in history, at least in the United States.

Of course, for years, Planned Parenthood’s ties to the KKK and eugenics were dismissed as right-wing conspiracy theory; it was only after substantial pressure from within the Social Justice™ coalition — in other words, from its own allies — that the organization was forced to come to terms with its origins.  

Via Planned Parenthood (emphasis added):

Planned Parenthood traces its roots back to a nurse named Margaret Sanger. Sanger grew up in an Irish family of 11 children in Corning, New York. Her mother, in fragile health from many pregnancies, including seven miscarriages, died at age 50 of tuberculosis. Her mother’s story — along with her work as a nurse on the Lower East Side of New York — inspired Sanger to travel to Europe and study birth control methods at a time when educating people about birth control was illegal in the United States.

On October 16, 1916, Sanger — together with her sister Ethel Byrne and activist Fania Mindell — opened the country’s first birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Women lined the block to get birth control information and advice.

Nine days later, police raided the clinic and shut it down. All three women were charged with crimes related to sharing birth control information. Sanger refused to pay the fine and spent 30 days in jail, where she educated other inmates about birth control.

Although the Brownsville clinic was shut down, Sanger went on to travel the country to share her vision — a vision that had deeply harmful blind spots.

Sanger believed in eugenics — an inherently racist and ableist ideology that labeled certain people unfit to have children. Eugenics is the theory that society can be improved through planned breeding for “desirable traits” like intelligence and industriousness. In the early 20th century, eugenic ideas were popular among highly educated, privileged, and mostly white Americans. Margaret Sanger pronounced her belief in and alignment with the eugenics movement many times in her writings, especially in the scientific journal Birth Control Review. 

At times, Sanger tried to argue for eugenics that was not applied based on race or religion. But in a society built on the belief of white supremacy, physical and mental fitness are always judged based on race. Eugenics, therefore, is inherently racist. She held beliefs that, from the very beginning, undermined her movement for reproductive freedom and caused harm to countless people. 

Sanger was so intent on her mission to advocate for birth control that she chose to align herself with ideas and organizations that were ableist and white supremacist. In 1926, she spoke to the women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) at a rally in New Jersey to promote birth control methods. Sanger endorsed the 1927 Buck v. Bell decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could forcibly sterilize people deemed “unfit” without their consent and sometimes without their knowledge. The acceptance of this decision by Sanger and other thought leaders laid the foundation for tens of thousands of people to be sterilized, often against their will.

All of which is to say: if the Karens of the modern age had their druthers, surely they’d prefer the 4.3:1 ratio of black-to-white abortions the other way around.

Still, sub-optimal race ratios notwithstanding, they remain undeterred in their dedication to the cause.
