I still have my (expletive) draft card. Before I was drafted in 1970, it was the (expletive) law that I had to carry it on my person at all times.
So, Mr. Lester is derisively calling fiction that “fecundity cards” might be required to be carried in certain states? Perhaps all females, from ages 13 to 60, might be required to carry such cards, renewable every year. Maybe color-coded as certified to be (blue) Pre-pubescent, (green) Fertile, (yellow) Permanently Infertile, and (red) Pregnant.
Makes it easier for State Preggers Police (or Maga “volunteers”) to check papers of all young women at borders, or bus stations, or airports. And then what?
Yes, this is horror fiction and hyperbole, perhaps, but some aspects of it might come to pass. Be afraid for the freedom of your wives, sisters, aunts, daughters, and nieces.
Even though right wing cartoonists assure us that such draconian measures “won’t happen here”. Really? Texas, for example, already has trigger laws to restrict travel. How it’s enforced remains to be seen.
“Papers. please!”
