On this edition of Your Call's Authoritarian Playbook Series, we're discussing the Heritage Foundation’s 250-year roadmap to "save America by saving the American family."
Written by authors with close ties to the Trump administration, this document outlines a plan to subjugate girls and young women by pushing them out of college, forcing them into marriage and motherhood, and restricting their access to birth control.
As Jessica Valenti, writes in a piece called, They’re Coming for Our Daughters, for her newsletter, Abortion, Every Day, "They want our daughters and granddaughters to have zero information about their bodies and sex, no ability to protect themselves from pregnancy, limited choices for an intellectual and professional life, and—once our girls have been corralled into early marriages—few opportunities to leave."
How are activists responding?
