for the way women's  rights are going in the USA under trump  especially Ohio - read The handmaid's tale  Margaret Atwood for a foreshadowing

1984 - George Orwell 

plus Politics and the English Language    essay http://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_polit

talks about the way language is destroyed to lose nuance and preciseness to cloud meaning for the masses

animal Farm George Orwell

The medium is the Massage - marshall McLuhan ,  Quentin Fiore 

First published in 1967, this text is now more relevant than ever, as McLuhan's foresights about the impact of new media is actualized at unprecedented speeds via the Internet. It portrays technologies as an extension of man, illustrating how our senses are massaged and our preceptions altered as these devices become integral parts of our lives.  

Regarding the pain of others - Susan Sontag   goes over the usage of imagery of human violence to desensitise and remove sympathy from the human race.

Free thought and Official Propaganda Bertrand Russell speech given  by Mr Russell

Manufacturing Consent: Political economy of the mass media Noam Chomsky and  Edward Herman MSM and what its real function is  in the modern world , who controls it and where it will end up

Brave New World     and Brave New World revisited  Aldous Huxley about a world held in thrall to science and regulated by social controls

Haha, no I am not.

Most non-fiction books are not making predictions about the future

There is nothing happening to Women's rights in the USA. Why such fear mongering?

Ohio has proposed change to women reproductive rights under the law meaning that if a female has been made pregnant when raped, has been made pregnant by familial abuse (incest even) , or the pregnancy threatens her life she will not be afforded a termination in fact if she succeeds she will be given death sentence , there is also talk of death sentence for miscarriages if found related to morning after tablets    which parallel to the dystopian world of Gilead. The fact that doctors could be punished similarly is worrying .

Not long ago a women was released after serving 11 years for delivering a stillborn child in el salvador

similar laws are being picked and spread in the federal states of America encouraged by the rampant greenlighting of misogyny from the top.

The odds of Ohio House Bill 565 passing are slim.

Christians are so anti-abortion they come up with these crazy measures.  True though remember in our own rehat we're not supposed to talk to anyone who commits infanticide.   Women who commit abortion are usually overly-western whores, but I still think christians go overboard when it comes to abortion.  At least in the US.

cannot generalise like that if the person has been abused/raped e.g victim of incest/sexual abuse/domestic abuse, grooming gang, the  baby dies in utero those are cases where it is not the girls fault at all , just in bad situation

Often doctors push women into such decisions ...
