"not a moment to mince words"

Laurie Penny brings the fire here -- "The Criminalization of Women's Bodies Is All About Conservative Male Power":

"It’s time to be completely clear. Forcing a woman to give birth against her will is morally equivalent to rape. It’s exactly the same logic of entitlement and abuse: Men get to control women’s bodies. Female sexual agency must be punished. Women’s consent does not matter.

This is not a moment to mince words. This is a moment for moral clarity. Women’s personhood is not conditional. Women’s sexuality is not shameful. The only shameful thing, the only thing that no citizen who believes even fractionally in freedom should tolerate, is a world in which women are treated like things."

In growing parts of America, rapists are now literally less culpable than the women they rape and the doctors who treat them.
