What happens when we misidentify our true adversaries? The sun is shining, dogs are playing, and somehow we've found ourselves in a culture war between mothers and child-free women that completely misses the point.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the recent social media trend of women celebrating their child-free status and the puzzling backlash from mothers who've personalized these celebrations as attacks. Why are we fighting each other instead of focusing on the real threats to women's autonomy? When child-free women dance to "21 with no kids," they're celebrating their own choices – not criticizing yours.

The real attack on motherhood isn't coming from TikTok. It's happening in places like Georgia, where 24-year-old Selena Chandler Scott faces up to 13 years in prison for disposing of a miscarried fetus. These laws that criminalize natural pregnancy outcomes while simultaneously cutting support for living children reveal where the true battle lies.

By fighting amongst ourselves, we're playing directly into a system designed to divide us while stripping away fundamental rights. The sooner we direct our anger at the correct targets, the sooner we can make meaningful progress toward reproductive justice.

It's time to stop demonizing women making different choices and start questioning a system that values controlling women's bodies over supporting mothers and children. Let's dilly dally less with infighting and focus more on the laws that truly threaten all women's freedoms.
