If you were disturbed by The Handmaids Tale, the dystopian story of a totalitarian regime that treats women as property and values them entirely based on their ability to produce babies, you should see whats going on in Congress right now.

In the past week alone, House Republicans have overwhelmingly voted against a womans right to travel for abortion care, to access birth control and to marry someone they love.

Each of these votes was appalling in its own right.

When the House voted last week to ensure that women are able to travel across state lines for an abortion, 205 Republicans voted no . When the House voted Tuesday to codify same-sex marriage, 157 Republicans voted no . On Thursday, when the House voted to protect womens right to access birth control and other contraception, 195 Republicans voted no .

Taken together, the broader message that Republicans are sending with these votes is even more horrifying: Women should be viewed as little more than baby incubators.
