What we're talking about is second class legal status for women of child-bearing age. A kind of guardianship by the state.

I assume she’s talking (at least partially) about the fall of Roe here, but this infantilization of women has been building from Dems and conservatives for a while now. A lot of PMC libs firmly believe women shouldn’t be considered adults until 35 or 40, and of course conservatives are completely fine with this.

Both sides are angling to treat all women like children until they are in their forties — and many women are mysteriously enough ok with this too.
