@Jenna___W: @C_Stroop @RDispatches @michelebgoodwin “Today’s Christian Right, in its zealous pursuit of extremist anti-choice politics, continues this legacy through differential, racially targeted enforcement as a means of putting women of color “in their place.” And they use WOC as example warnings to keep WW in their place.
