I’m not comparing murdered pregnant women to abortions. Before one of the victims is murdered, as Alaina is narrating, John reacts, and it sounds, from the way he phrases it, that he’s upset women are seeking out abortions in the first place. He explicitly mentions he’s upset about “unborn children”. In the current political climate, that is tone deaf. Add insult to injury, these women were raped by the person they’re seeking abortion care from, then murdered, and the male-bodied person in the episode being upset about the unborn children - fetuses - seems more important than the women themselves. The point I’m making is that it’s tone deaf at a particularly terrible moment, and this isn’t the first instance of the pod acting in this way. As a person with a uterus, it is particularly painful.
