The trailer for the sixth and final season of my favorite show on the left, “The Handmaid's Tale,” was a mainstream hit.
The show is based on Margaret Atwood's novel The Handmaid's Tale, but the novel written in the 1980s does not condemn Christian conservatives' dystopian settings. Rather, the plot involves a woman who is forced to be an agent for wealthy and infertile women.
Atwood herself says she is influenced by many different religions, including Islam, for her bestsellers.
“From their arguments, what I understand.” Ally Beth Stucky He said it was “friendly.” “Donald Trump is not a religious right, so he's a religious right, and really every Republican, but he says he's adopting Christianity to try and turn America into this Christian nationalist religious extremist dystopia that we've been forced to give birth.”

The reason they believe this is because many Christians on the right are opposed to killing babies in the womb.
But Stucky is well aware that their interpretations are paranoid, to say the least.
“What's really happening in the US right now is the broad multi-billion dollar proxy industry thriving in the US, the wild west of reproductive technology when it comes to embryo creation and cryopreservation, egg farming, and sperm sourcing,” she explains.
“One of the most disturbing aspects of the US reproductive industry is surrogacy,” she continues. “When we're talking about surrogates, it's usually the creation of a child that uses the DNA of two individuals who create these embryos and completely transfer these embryos to a surrogate who is not a biological mother.
“In a very often these are high-risk pregnancies, so they are premature births. They are not pregnant naturally. This baby does not share DNA with the carrier,” she adds.
Of the many births of babies carried by agents, they quickly take the baby away so that they don't bond with the mother, the only home they know for the first nine months.
“They're just really big, really dramatic, really traumatic, and they need that bond. But in a surrogacy situation, the skin is robbed of opportunities for skin and the experience of bonding needed for the child's health to prevent that bond,” explains Stucky.
And that gets worse. A 2023 study of the Association's Reproductive Technology Clinic Results Reporting System found that between 2014 and 2020, 32% of surrogacy pregnancies by American women were due to buyers outside the US. 42% of these buyers were Asian men.
“We know there is an organ harvest black market that already exists. We know there is child sex trafficking, and surrogacy is involved in all of that.
“This is a 'handmade story,'' she adds.
