Pro-Abortion Group Pleads With Activists To Stop Referencing ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ – By Robert Schmad (Washington Free Beacon) / July 15, 2022
“Handmaid’s Tale references turn a blind eye to the centuries of oppression people of color … have faced”
A pro-abortion activist group is urging protesters to quit making references to The Handmaid’s Tale, arguing allusions to the book are insensitive to the oppression of minorities.
“You can’t wear people’s real oppression as a costume. Throw the red cloaks away,” REPRO Rising Virginia said Thursday. “Handmaid’s Tale references turn a blind eye to the centuries of oppression people of color, specifically Black, brown, and indigenous women, have faced regarding their reproductive rights.”
