I. Rida Mahmood<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a mid-spring day of 2010, Jordanians woke up to the harrowing news<\/a> of a 45-year-old man who bled his 19-year-old pregnant daughter to death while attempting to perform a surgical abortion on her. The man, who had cultivated his medical expertise overnight using a Google search, was also the father of the aborted fetus.<\/p>\n

I was on a family visit to Amman at the time. My father, doing the dishes, told the story to me and my mother, as the two of us sat at the kitchen table.<\/p>\n

Disdainfully \u2014 and, naively, in retrospect \u2014 I said, \u201cThis would never happen in Amreeka<\/em>.\u201d I rolled my eyes and went on, \u201cThe girl would\u2019ve gotten herself a safe abortion and reported her father to the police. Women\u2019s rights are protected in Amreeka<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amreeka<\/em> is, of course, the colloquial Arabic term for America, my beloved home to which I returned two months later.<\/p>\n

\n

America\u2019s Freedom Hinges on the Survival of its Democracy<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n

Fast forward 12 years: American women of childbearing age could face the same fate as that Jordanian teen, thanks to several conservative, unelected<\/em> justices.<\/p>\n

For decades, conservative American politicians and commentators have cited, often in a dystopian fashion, the \u201cencroachment of Sharia law\u201d into our state courts as the opening remarks to their racist, anti-immigrant advocacy (a baseless claim, but that is a story for another day). Yet the revelations from Politico<\/a> on May 2, 2022, disclosing the Supreme Court\u2019s opinion on a reversal of Roe v. Wade, are yet further proof that the greatest threat currently facing American freedom is not a doe-eyed longbeard in a headdress, a thobe, and a pair of flipflops.<\/p>\n

Liberty-worshipping conservatives would never allow a sharia-abiding immigrant to try and treat American women as the chattel property of men; subjugated, objectified, and hidden away from public life; as mere vessels to carry and deliver the fruits of men\u2019s seeds.<\/p>\n

Subjugating American women is another job that good old conservatives do not want to outsource to immigrants.<\/p>\n

Sharia-phobic conservatives, while donning their favorite superhero capes and flying to rescue Afghan and Iraqi women from religious authoritarianism, have been working diligently to formulate and promote homemade policies that are equally authoritarian, misogynistic, and intrusive<\/a>, with unmistakable religious underpinnings. The leaked US Supreme Court\u2019s initial draft majority opinion targets American women in a way that would thrill the ghosts of Mullah Omar and Ayatollah Khomeini.<\/p>\n

\n

The prospective tyranny of our unelected officials will hardly stop at abortion rights…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The US Supreme Court\u2019s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade should hardly come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention in recent months. Just last December, while hearing oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/a>, our own Aunt Lydia<\/a>, aka Justice Amy Coney Barrett, referenced \u201csafe haven\u201d laws as an alternative to abortion. Instead of ending a pregnancy, she suggested, a woman should carry the fetus to full term, deliver it, and leave it at a public place without facing legal consequences \u2014 as if giving up a child for adoption by unknown strangers carries the same trauma as having a safe abortion; as if having a low-cost or no-cost safe delivery is easily attainable. The list of \u201cas ifs\u201d goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Not only did these remarks betray her lies to the US Senate at her confirmation in 2020<\/a>, but they also revealed Barrett\u2019s deep-seated dismissive attitude toward the whole concept of women\u2019s right to autonomy over our own bodies \u2014 an attitude shared with the other conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas.<\/p>\n

An attitude at the core of the patriarchy found in abundance within theocracies around the world.<\/p>\n

Speaking of a theocracy taking hold in America might seem laughable at first glance. Upon further inspection, however, the possibility is not all that farfetched. In the aftermath of the leak, Justice Thomas seems to be more concerned with the public\u2019s respect<\/a> of the institution than with the draft\u2019s contents. Within the draft itself, Justice Alito revealed his disregard for public opinion<\/a> when he wrote \u201cwe cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as concern about the public\u2019s reaction to our work.\u201d According to Alito, for a civil right to be valid, it must be \u201cdeeply rooted in the nation\u2019s\u00a0history\u00a0and\u00a0traditions.\u201d In his attempt to make a strong case for said \u201ctraditions,\u201d Alito made multiple references to Sir Matthew Hale<\/a>, a 17th<\/sup> century judge who presided over witchcraft trials and distrusted women\u2019s claims of rape, spousal and otherwise.<\/p>\n

The document reeks of conservatives\u2019 infamous nostalgia for the good old days, when women \u201cknew their place,\u201d when women\u2019s bodies were the property of the state, and reproductive rights for women were a form of heresy.<\/p>\n

The prospective tyranny of our unelected officials will hardly stop at abortion rights; it will immediately expand into limiting access to contraceptives \u2014 another favorite of the religious right \u2014 and later onto other civil rights that women activists obtained after centuries of hard work. Uncertainty is already looming on the horizon about the future of procedures such as IVF treatments.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this was a much needed wake-up call to remind us all that, while women\u2019s bodies are still a battlefield, the fight for women\u2019s rights in Amreeka<\/em> is far from over.<\/p>\n
