As lawmakers in the Nebraska legislature debated and advanced a near-total abortion ban last week, one Republican took to the floor and delivered an argument undergirded by a white supremacist conspiracy theory in support of the ban.
In his argument, Erdman invoked the theory to justify another type of violence: forced birth. Expertsthat the growth of white supremacist rhetoric on the right and the rise of abortion bans and attacks on trans people are deeply linked.
Meanwhile, as misogyny becomes more prevalent on the right, and abortion bans aid in far right white supremacist groups’ missions to increase the population of white people by forcing white women to give birth, some especially abhorrentdoing this via sexual assault. Since abortion bans largely affect cis women — and since right wingers refuse to acknowledge that some trans people can also become pregnant — abortion bans also serve these groups’ desire to control women.
