I am sick to my stomach. My heart goes out to every woman in a California prison, and this is my promise to them: I will fight to overturn this law.

Gavin Newsom is a piece of shit, as is Scott Wiener, the state senator who put forward the bill, as is Toni Atkins, the president pro temp of the California state Senate. As is every state California state senator and assembly member who voted for this bill.

Anyone in California? Please call your assembly member and senator, because Scott Wiener and Toni Atkins - who ironically enough, think of themselves as the LGBT representatives - no doubt have more women-hating bills in the pipeline. So it would be good to tell CA legislators what pieces of misogynistic, rape-enabling shit they are while protesting more misogynistic gender lobby legislation in advance.

Anyone remember when George Dubya was running for re-election and Gavin Newsom, then mayor of San Francisco, decided to allow gay marriage in San Francisco - most probably to score points with liberals? Because Newsom has never had a moral compass - remember that Newsom was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, ex-Fox News host and current squeeze of Don Jr.

The 24 hour cable was flooded with gay weddings in San Francisco, which would have been a cause for celebration, except back then some US voters weren't ready for it.

I always thought Newsom pulling what seemed to me, even before I knew much about him, to be a publicity stunt, helped throw the election to Bush II. Well, that and all the voter fraud the Republicans engaged in...

Already, I've seen a backlash on Twitter: that oily, right wing shit stirrer, Ian Miles Cheong, has tweeted out this news, and his followers, to give them credit, are aghast. Many people across the political spectrum are aghast.

So Newsom might have done it again: Newsom might have helped throw a presidential election to the Republican candidate. And screwed helpless women too. Heck of a job, Gavvie (showing my age).

There is a recall petition already circulating for Newsom. I will find it and post. Anyone who hates women cannot be allowed to stay in office. Time for Newsom to go.

It's a Sophie's choice, isn't it. On one hand you have people like Newsom who would uphold abortion (but not enough to make abortion pills available on UC/CSU campuses) but are 100 percent for putting intact males into women's prisons for these males' safety.

On the other, you have Trump shooing in an actual Serena Waterford in Amy Coney Barrett. You ever see the Handmaid's Tale with the Elliott Stabler guy who has this huge mostly but not all white family and everyone's like, that's so awesome? That's exactly what I thought of hers when she trotted them up there. Barrett belongs to a cult that until 2017 called the women they had over other women "handmaids."

Either way, women's rights are being eroded and quite a few are becoming handmaidens to satisfy the whims and privilege of males.

I thought of that Handmaid's Tale family as well.
