For years I have seen the hatred of women’s right to autonomy and control over their own reproduction as well as anti-feminism, racism, homophobia and the form of misogyny I am loathe to call transphobia instead of misogyny as all having common ideological roots.

He became very anti-abortion…That’s all he cared about is anti-abortion. ‘The church is this. God is this.’ Yadda yadda.” Noting that she vehemently disagreed with her ex-husband’s views, Lindsey Roeder told the Star that he moved out in 1994. “I thought he was over the edge with that stuff,” she said. “He started falling apart.
