re the above: The admin/MAGA response is that st sen Bohacek is clearly an alcoholic being blackmailed by Dems.

And just to be 100% clear it is explicitly forbidden in Article 23(d) of the 1907 Hague Convention IV, itself incorporated into domestic law via 18 USC 2441(c)(2). It is a directly enumerated war crime, and giving or acting on that order is prosecutable domestically.

Also very specifically the offense memorialized in "remember the Alamo"

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" wasn't "havoc" in just the modern sense of chaos, it was a particular order that was understood as heinous even in Shakespeare's day, authorization after battle was over to slaughter and pillage, both debilitated enemies and noncombatants, without restraint.

Again, they use language that sounds initially empowering. But the actual ideology here is that women don't belong to a larger community, but are basically just the property of a husband with no right to help or connection outside of the home.

This isn't "freedom." This is about the view that women don't deserve even basic health care. It's dehumanizing women, too, by ignoring why human birth is uniquely difficult, which is why humans don't just give birth in a closet like a cat. (Also, cat birth is not always complication-free!)
