Back to petticoats: Arizona's 1864 abortion ban shows GOP longs to force women into the past

Salon  

For some time, Arizona has been near the front of the pack of Republican-controlled states itching to ban abortion. "Yesterday's ruling in Arizona is dangerous and will set Arizona women back more than a century," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement on Saturday. "We are the weaker sex," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said in a speech in April, where she argued that women's inferiority was God-given, since "We came from Adam's rib." Asawin Suebsaeng and Sam Brodey report for the Daily Beast, Greene's endorsement was "actively courted" in Republican primaries, given her "popularity among much of the base and what she brings to a campaign." As CNN reported last week, John Gibbs, a Trump-endorsed Republican running for Congress in Michigan, once ran a one-man "think tank" that called for the repeal of women's right to vote.
