Kathy Spillar: The Heritage Foundation wants to 'use every lever of power' against women - Velshi - MS NOW



Katy Spillar, Ms. Magazine's executive editor, is sounding the alarm on a new policy blueprint released by The Heritage Foundation that she says aims to roll back advances for women. She warns of an authoritarian strategy aimed at shrinking women’s independence and political power. Despite that, she insists women across the country are organizing in the courts, in elections, and in the streets, refusing to go backward. - Aired on 03/15/2026.

As much as they try, it's impossible to turn back the clock a couple of centuries. My mother was a college graduate as well as my aunts. My grandmother was a school teacher, but she said if she was growing up now, she'd want to be an environmentalist.

especially the ones who voted for republicans (any republicans, not just Trump). I'm just old enough (born in the mid-60s, early Gen X) to remember the women's rights and environmental concerns from my mom and other family members in the 1970s. It was a big deal when women made gains in the workplace, and especially when moms decided to keep working, or go back to work when their kids entered school. We were the first latch-key generation. Now, I see them attacking the right to vote as the first step to take power away from women and it's chilling.

... and everyone associated with Project 2025 banned for life from ANY elected or appointed government positions. NO exceptions! These venomous snakes have to be dealt with as harshly as the law allows, or they will destroy America, which is their ultimate goal, make no mistake. They're determined to establish Feudalism 2.0 in a ruthless authoritarian system that will make Hitler and Pol Pot look like choirboys.
